My unread book collection has grown with 7 books so far. I did not make any goals specifically towards shrinking my unread book collection, this year was all about reading and buying what I was in the mood for. The number of library books might seem low but I have not been much of a borrower the last couple of years (ever since the big disease) so I am glad I am finding my way back, I used to borrow a lot of books.

Books I have enjoyed reading the most so far this year (in the order I read them):
Wild Magic – Tamora Pierce (reread)
Dating Dr. Dil – Nisha Sharma
Drömgångare/The Bone Season – Samantha Shannon (reread)
These Old Shades – Georgette Heyer
The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year – Ally Carter

What is your top read so far this year?
