Description: David Cleden - SF and Fantasy author
I’ve been a little tardy in posting this before now but since I mainly do it for my own records of books I’ve read in any given year, I shall be forgiving.
So these are the physical books that I read in 2022. As in previous years, I thought my reading rate had slowed but in actual fact, seeing everything in one place for the first time, it’s about the same as the last two years. (I haven’t counted because I’m not that bothered about keeping score; I’m just judging from the height of the stack in the photos). At a guess, I probably read the same number again in ebook formats – if you include Asimov’s, Analog and Fantasy & Science Fiction every two months, plus
My favourites amongst this stack? I absolutely loved Emily St John Mandel’s “The Glass Hotel” which I then followed up with the audiobook of “Sea of Tranquility” which was also just perfect. Although it wasn’t essential to the story, I loved the echoes of the earlier book which appeared throughout. Plotting, characters, setting – everything just fell into place. If you enjoyed her “Station Eleven” I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with these two.
