Again, science fiction strongly dominates, although the last three are more suspense and thriller books. Nine of these were from the shelf of my friend in Vancouver while I was visiting him. Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the last book in the Rani Trader Glasswright series. I’ve been left in suspense as to what happens to bring the whole thing to a tidy close.

The keen-eyed amonst you might have noticed that I haven’t listed any audiobooks lately. The truth is, I haven’t had time to finish any, because I often listen to them while on the bus or while walking up and down the seafront. While I was in Canada, I didn’t do those things. As a result, I’ve been working my way through the unabridged Life of Pi (Yann Martel) for ages now, but the end is in sight!

Grand total for the year is 88.
