Looking at my Goodreads records, in 2017 I read 92 books.
In fiction, I read 26 new books, and reread 27 (including a (re)read of all of Peter David Star Trek New Frontier series and quite a few Rex Stout Nero Wolfe). Nine were 5-star books; I think my favorite new entry, for a variety of reasons, was April Daniels’ Dreadnought, as both a very solid super-hero story and a great coming-of-age / establishing-your-identity sort of story.
In non-fiction, I read 6 new books (most of them audiobooks — the number was down with my commute being in abeyance. I gave 3 of them 5 stars (which seems high — 5 star ratings are sometimes impulsive, I fear). I’ll give top new rating to As I Knew Him: My Dad, Rod Serling, by Anne Serling as a great insight not only into the man (who was far more than a cigarette-smoking creepy voice artist), but also into television and writing of the 50s and 60s.
In comic TPBs / graphic novels, I read 15 new, and reread 14 old. Of the five 5-star books, I’ll give my top rating for new reads to Jim Zub’s Wayward Deluxe Vol. 1 as an incredible blend of traditional and new mythmaking, steeped in Japanese culture but with a fresh (and gorgeous) eye.
It’s altogether some have slipped through the cracks here, but that’s a pretty good set of numbers.


Impressive.
