Reading Plans

Since I’ve made a concerted effort to begin reading again, I’ve really enjoyed the almost gamification that Goodreads provides. Setting reading targets and giving ratings etc. has added a fun element to my reading.

Here is my reading in 2023. It was pleasing to beat the target I set myself at the start of last year.

So now I set myself new targets, after exceeding my goals last year, a target of a book a week seems achievable.

I also want to set a TBR (to be read) list to hit throughout the year, so in no order here it is:

• The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien (was reading this over the New Year, now complete)
• The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien
  • The Fellowship of The Ring
  • The Two Towers
  • The Return of The King
• Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight Archive 5)
• The Kingfountain Series by Jeff Wheeler
  • The Queen’s Poisoner (currently reading)
  • The Thief’s Daughter
  • The King’s Traitor
  • The Hollow Crown
  • The Silent Shield
  • The Forsaken Throne
• Legends Of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler
  • The Wretched Of Muirwood
  • The Scourge Of Muirwood
  • The Blight Of Muirwood
  • The Twilight Kingdom
• The Covenant Of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler
  • The Banished Of Muirwood
  • The Ciphers Of Muirwood
  • The Void Of Muirwood
  • The Lost Abbey
• The First Argentines by Jeff Wheeler
  • Knight’s Ransom
  • Warrior’s Ransom
  • Lady’s Ransom
  • Fate’s Ransom
• The Dawning Of Muirwood by Jeff Wheeler
  • The Druid
  • The Hunted
  • The Betrayed
• Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman
  • Carl’s Doomsday Scenario
  • The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook
  • The Gate of the Feral Gods
  • The Butcher’s Masquerade
  • The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
• He Who Fights with Monsters by Shirtaloon (at least book 2)
• The Will of the Many by James Islington
• The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
  • The Fires of Heaven
  • Lord of Chaos
  • A Crown of Swords
  • The Path of Daggers
  • Winter’s Heart
  • Crossroads of Twilight
  • Knife of Dreams
  • The Gathering Storm
  • Towers of Midnight
  • A Memory of Light
• Vlad Taltos series by Steven Brust
• Bronze Rank Brewer by James Ghoul
• The Bound and the Broken Series by Ryan Cahill
• Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
• The Riyria Revelations Series by Michael J. Sullivan (already read books 1 & 2)
• Discworld by Sir Terry Pratchett
• Earthseed Series by Octavia E. Butler
• Red Rising Series by Pierce Brown
• The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist (already read Magician: Apprentice)
• Warformed: Stormweaver Series by Bryce O’Connor

Most of the books at the top of the list are on Kindle Unlimited, which I have a deal on until March. I doubt I will make it through all of them before then but hey, they’re essentially free books!

I have a feeling that this list is a little on the long side, and at the moment only really features fantasy fiction books. So I’m sure I’ll add a few palette cleansers in between. I’m also fairly sure I won’t make it through all of Jeff Wheeler’s books before March. My one goal for the year is to finally complete Wheel of Time, it’s a miracle I haven’t spoiled the ending of the story before now but that’s a significant amount of reading in itself (they’re not short books).
