28) Imaginable: How to Create a Hopeful Future by Jane McGonigal
29) The Half Known Life: In Search of Paradise by Pico Iyer
30) Blind Drunk: A Sober Look at Our Boozy Culture by Veronica Woodruff
31) The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life Is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in A Store by Cait Flanders

All these were interesting in very different ways.

I read The Year of Less last year I think - it was a really thought provoking one, and I remember it being impactful :)

Yes it is! My partner and I did a no-buy year in 2018 and it was a life-shift for sure. Her memoir was an interesting revisit of that experience although the book was a lot more of a personal growth journey with family issues and quitting drinking, etc. A good reminder that life can really change when you make different decisions.

1. De blauwe boekanier by Tonke Dragt
2. Mijn leven's liederen by Remco Campert
3. Het onbegonnen feest by Els Pelgrom
4. Verlies by Nicci French
5. Onmacht by Charles den Tex

7. Animal Farm by George Orwell
8. De zee een lied by J. Slauerhoff
9. Het zingend hart by Gerard Reve
10. Oeroeg by Hella Haasse
11. Zie me staan by Trea van der Vliet
12. The mad ship by Robin Hobb (finally got round to continuing this series!! I absolutely adore it)
13. Ship of Destiny by Robin Hobb (god I love this series!!)
14. Siegfried by Harry Mulisch (DNF - really liked the concept but once a writer starts writing about how great and smart writers are... and then drag in every other writer, composer or philosopher to make long-winded analogies... I'm out)
15. Het verlangen by Hugo Claus (DNF - got real gross real fast. Did my best to read at least 20 pages but damn, I should've tossed it after 5)
16. Voor wie ik liefheb, wil ik heten by N.M. Min
17. Het bloemenmeisje by Anya Niewierra [DNF, dragged myself to page 189 and decided it wasn't worth the next 200)
18. De elementen by Harry Mulisch - surprisingly fun
19. Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend - very biblical but filled with good lessons in setting boundaries. Surprisingly good read for an atheist like me.
20. De ecologische leider by Peter Robinson - DNF, very outdated
21. Wegwijs in de wijsbegeerte by C.A. van Peursen (DNF)
22. Wat blijft komt nooit terug by J. Eijkelboom
23. Klaar om te wenden by P. de Ruijter (DNF, another business book out the door! Which is like 70% of this challenge for me)

34) Why We Swim by Bonnie Tsui: well-written and interesting if you like the water or are intrigued by the relationship humans have with it

35) A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas : entertaining "faerie smut" as my co-worker called it and then lent me the entire collection. Way out of my normal reading zone which is fun. More violent than expected so will see if I get sucked into the series or call it quits partway through the sequel

36) The Path of Aliveness: A Contemporary Zen Approach to Awakening Body and Mind by Christian Dillo: only 1/4 of the way in but enjoying the style of writing and subject matter

Moving slower this year, but have listened to a lot of podcasts in lieu of audiobooks. Also read so many technical manuals (but those don't make it on the list). I guess I'm on track for 40 books at this rate, so I might need to increase the rate (or read some short books)!

1. Unaccountability Machine - Dan Davies
2. Piranesi - Susana Clarke
3. Tales from Out There: The Barkley Marathons, The World’s Toughest Trail Race - Frozen Ed Furtaw
4. The Fuller Memorandum - Charles Stross
5. REDACTED
6. The Apocalypse Codex - Charles Stross
7. The Rhesus Chart - Charles Stross
8. The city and it's uncertain walls - Haruki Murakami (audiobook)
9. Where Wolves Don't Die - Anton Treuer (audiobook)
10. It's not the end of the world - Hannah Ritchie

11. Home Body - Rupi Kaur (poetry)
12. The sun and her flowers - Rupi Kaur (poetry)
13. Reconciling History - Jodi Wilson Rayboult (audiobook)
14. Making Love to the Land - Joshua Whitehead

What a weird mixture of books this year - lots of Canadian stuff, lots of pulpy sci-fi, and a handful of non-fiction. I appreciate this challenge so much :)

I might make it to 50 books this year after all:

15. Doppelganger - Naomi Klein (audiobook)
16. Born a Crime - Trevor Noah
17a. Principles - Ray Dalio (audiobook) - DNF
17b. Sure I’ll join your cult - Maria Bamford - DNF
17c. The Certainty Illusion - Timothy Caulfield - DNF (I figure 3 DNFs is at least one full book)
18. Headscarves and Hymens - Mona Ethahawy
19. Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing - Matthew Perry (audiobook)
20. Provenance - Anne Leckie
21. Enlightenment Now! - Steven Pinker (audiobook)
22. Why We’re Polarized - Ezra Klein
23. Dungeon Crawler Carl - Matt Dinniman
24. The Other Significant Others - Rhaina Cohen
25. Far Sector - N.K. Jesmin (graphic novel)
26. Stolen Focus - Johann Hari (audiobook)
