Reading List – 2012
So, the year has ended. As I mentioned earlier on in one of my monthly reports, at the end of the year I wanted to consolidate my reading list to check whether or not I do hit the original goal of 200 novels and audio dramas, adjusted for comics trade paperbacks collections (or other collections as appropriate. This is that “edited” list. In the interest of clarity, I’m separating it all according to format. You can find an archive of the actual unedited reading list here.
