For the last five years, I've been reading at least one new (to me) Terry Pratchett book each month. Sadly, after 75 books, I have now finally run out. I saved The Shepherd's Crown until last. It was emotional and it did not disappoint. 2017's full Pratchett run consisted of:
  • The Unadulterated Cat
  • Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook
  • The World of Poo
  • The Folklore of Discworld (with Jacqueline Simpson)
  • The Science of Discworld I-IV (with Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen)
  • The Long Cosmos (with Stephen Baxter)
  • The Witch's Vacuum Cleaner and other stories
  • Father Christmas's Fake Beard and other stories
  • Seriously Funny - The Endlessly Quotable Terry Pratchett
  • Shaking Hands With Death
  • The Shepherd's Crown

On the non-Pratchett front, I read about as many other books, comfortably keeping up a >2 books per month average overall:
  • The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Becky Chambers)
  • Star Wars: Lords of the Sith (Paul S. Kemp)
  • The Man in the High Castle (Philip K. Dick)
  • Wars of the Roses: Ravenspur (Conn Iggulden)
  • Batman: The Killing Joke (Alan Moore and Brian Bolland)
  • Dear World, How Are You? (Toby Little)
  • Armada (Earnest Cline)
  • Trigger Warning (Neil Gaiman)
  • The Ashes of London (Andrew Taylor)
  • The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being (Professor Alice Roberts)
  • The Hanging Tree (Ben Aaronovitch)
  • How to Read Bridges (Edward Denison and Ian Stewart)
  • A Closed and Common Orbit (Becky Chambers)
  • The Book of Dust Vol. 1: La Belle Sauvage (Philip Pullman)

In 2018, now that the Pratchett marathon is over, I want to re-read some old favourites again. I've already begun doing this in the tail end of 2017. Following La Belle Sauvage, I started re-reading the other books in the 'His Dark Materials' cycle - Once Upon a Time in the North, Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, and I've just started The Amber Spyglass. Once I've finished that and Lyra's Oxford, I want to read The Dresden Files again. Now, if I can just keep myself from buying too many new books...
