Favorite fictional books I read this year
I read 97 fictional novels this year, including re-reads. Most of them were fantasy, rest would fall under sci-fi and magical realism.
A few years back, I would finish a book no matter how difficult or boring it was. Not so anymore, I had at least two DNF this year — one was too dark for my tastes and the other was too boring.
Picking favorites is a tough task and choosing the order of presentation even more so. I've gone with books I enjoyed the most and these are all great candidates for future re-reads. I am not so good with rating prose, characters, worldbuilding, plot holes, etc anyway.
