While I fully intend to do a wrap-up for the whole year in one post, that will be more of a retrospective including stats and all those good things. This post (and part 2) will basically be a list of books. It’s mostly for me, so I have a nice record, but maybe you’ll find some good stuff here too! I read fantasy, science fiction and non-fiction nature writing for the most part, so if you like any of that then maybe have a scroll.

Images will link to the Storygraph pages for each book, and if I’ve reviewed the book I’ll add that too. If a book has an asterisk (*) next to it, it means I received it through NetGalley or as a gift from a publisher.
