Looking back at the books that I liked this year, a lot of them were not published this year.
Published this year
Fiction
- Lockwood & Co book 5, The Empty Grave - Stroud really is a talented writer.
- Artemis - Andy Weir
Non Fiction
- The Storm before the Storm, by Mike Duncan - Great read on the period of Roman history from the fall of Carthage to the death of Sulla.
Really, I thought the picking were kind of slim this year. Not a whole lot where I was totally wowed. Some favored authors who put out workman like books, but nothing that keep me up reading all night.
I did discover a few writers this year who had been around.
My favorite was Marc Alan Edelheit's Stiger series.
I did pick up several other series that were good enough that I bought the set, but they were all more along the lines of solid workman like, rather than stay up all night reading because I couldn't put it down.
