This year I read 51 books. I also started to read the “Complete Collection Of H. P. Lovecraft” with more than 100 Lovecraft books. I didn’t finished it yet but I read a lot of them.
It was also the year I bought a Kindle.

2021 TBR
In 2021 I’ll be starting and reading along the Malazan series by Steven Erikson.
- January: Gardens of the Moon
- February-March: Deadhouse Gates
- April-May: Memories of Ice
- June-August: House of Chains
- September-November: Midnight Tides
Other books I’m keeping in my list to read this year:
- Continuing “The Wheel of Time” series by Robert Jordan. Let’s see how the Malazan schedule works for me to see when can I squeeze “The Great Hunt” (book 2) and if I can read more in the series.
- Continuing “The Murderbot Diaries” series by Martha Wells. Next one is “Rogue Protocol” (book 3). I will try to catch up to book 5 this year.
- “Dune” by Frank Herbert. Never read Dune… Don’t know when but it’s in my list for this year.
- More Stephen King. I’ve been reading/re-reading King. Next in the agenda should be “Different Seasons”.
- Continuing the “Complete Collection of H. P. Lovecraft”. I’ve started in 2020. Many book in this collection. Will continue.
- If a new “Undying Mercenaries” book by B.V. Larson comes out.
- I’ll probably add some quick reads between the “big ones”.
- Extended optional/desired list:
- “The Slow Regard of Silent Things” by Patrick Rothfuss. If I buy the book and/or if the last book in “The Kingkiller Chronicle” comes out and I pick it up.
- Maybe I start reading in the “Cosmere” books by Brandon Sanderson? “Elantris”? “Mistborn: The Final Empire”?
- Maybe continuing “The Vampire Chronicles” by Anne Rice. Next book is “The Vampire Lestat”.
- I picked up some Michael Crichton books. Never read Crichton.
- Too many things already, but “Red Rising Saga” and “The Dresden Files” are calling me.
