    I've read 31 books for review this year, and a few just for fun but of those, I have no record. "A curtain twitcher's book of murder" by Gay Marris probably is my favourite still even though I read it a while ago, in February. It's not a fantasy, but a collection of murder mystery stories, and I enjoyed every second of it. Great writing and really cool twists, morbid and exciting. It was honestly surprising to me because I do prefer middle grade fiction, and books for smaller kids as well, but this was a full on adult book and it delivered for me :)
