As I mentioned a year ago, I wanted to spend some time in 2018 actually re-reading some of the books I've already got, rather than merely devouring new ones. And I did. This year, I have re-read:

His Dark Materials et al (Philip Pullman)
all of The Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) - now please hurry up and finish writing Peace Talks, Jim!
Gulliver's Travels (Jonathan Swift)
various Roald Dahls, and also read Boy and Going Solo for the first time

I haven't only been re-reading, of course. On top of that, this year I have also read:

The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace & Babbage (Sydney Padua) - possibly my new favourite book ever!
Dunstan (Conn Iggulden)
Star Wars: Scoundrels (Timothy Zahn)
The Furthest Station (Ben Aaronovitch)
The Signalman (Charles Dickens)

...and quite a lot of non-fiction for a change:

Harry Potter: A History of Magic (various)
Other Minds: The Octopus and the Evolution of Intelligent Life (Peter Godfrey-Smith)
Hello, Is This Planet Earth? (Major Tim Peake)
Rise (Gina Miller)
We Have No Idea: A Guide to the Unknown Universe (Jorge Cham & Daniel Whiteson)

I still have a few books waiting on my "to read" shelf, but beyond those, I have no idea what I'll be reading in 2019 yet! :o)
