What were your reading-experiences 2012?

[StefanSeitz]

Hi there again, the old year has only hours left so I go on with a tradition of mine and look back to review all the novels I was reading this year. My count this year is 46 completely read books; a little meagre my goal was to read at least 60 but as the cliché goes: there is so much to do and always fewer time to do them. The list thereof follows below. Now I wish you all out there a happy ‘reading’ –year 2013! I would like it if you would share some of your reading-experiences of 2012. Meanwhile have a nice time and a happy new year!

I've really looked forward to this thread since I received my first ereader a couple of years ago. It's fun to look back at what all I've read over the past year. For me, it's mostly Star Trek as I've been working my way from the DS9 relaunch on up to today for the past couple of years. As I'll soon be caught up, I think I'll start branching out into other sci-fi/fantasy, but don't worry, there's still plenty of Treklit for me to read in the coming year!

For the new year, my goal is to alternate between Trek and non-Trek books, especially with my new blog which focuses on works other than Star Trek novels.

Several books, but relevant to this board, only Q-Squared, which was a HUGE disappointment and read like fanfic.

 

[Lee Son of Pete]

Loads of stuff, I didn't keep a list, but the stand out event for me was switching to an e-reader. I'm a total convert, and not just because it feels like I have a star trek style pad to read from.
