Compared to the last few years, I've read the least number of books this year. In fact there has been a downward trend which I want to remedy.

I've diversified in the genres (fantasy, short stories, sci-fi) and the authors (all new authors this year) which is a good sign.

The book that impressed me most was The House of the Spirits. I read it as part of a book club and thoroughly enjoyed it. I did watch the movie based on the book and it was horrible.

Keeping my fingers crossed to have a much longer list of books for next year. Some of the books and authors on my wishlist for 2017 are:

• The Moonstone
• Choker Bali
• Selection Day
• Palace Walk
• Nabokov
• Allende
• Wilkie Collins
