Still reading (or in most cases, re-reading) an Agatha Christie mystery every month for the Christie discussion (and related knitting!) group over on ravelry.com. Most of them have been great fun to revisit, including By the Pricking of My Thumbs.

Wow, I breezed past 50 this year. 59 is my highest total in quite some time, though still a bit short of the highest I've recorded since I began tracking in 1988, 67. I also read 23 SF+F magazines and 102 comic books (a number of my regular reads ended in 2018).
