Two Hectobooks: Looking Back, Part 6

Guys! I'm so proud of myself. The last time I wrote one of these posts was just over a year ago! And the previous one was just under a year before that! I'm pretty sure that this is the first time in the history of the blog that I've finished four decabooks so fast. I'm not sure if things are going to gcontinue at this pace given how I had to change my posting schedule earlier this year. But we'll see. Basically I'm just so excited by my progress lately. I'm excited to finish the project! The end isn't exactly in sight but there's a light at the end of the tunnel that I couldn't see five years ago, that's for sure.

Top 100 So Far

A couple of firsts this time around! And I'm not necessarily happy about them.

First, this is where The List's shocking lack of women writers becomes really, really apparent. Each previous set of ten has included at least one book by a female author. This time there are zero female authors, plus also a twelve book series by a dude. I only read the first two books of that, though.

Second, I skipped a book! I never plan to do this again, but after how much I hated The Rainbow, I treated its sequel, Women in Love, as if both books had been one entry, and quit reading the duology after hating the first book. I went into this in more detail when I posted about Women in Love, and that post is linked below.

For the books I actually read the publication date skewed to 1934, although it would've gone higher if I'd made it through more of A Dance to the Music of Time.

As for my feelings about the books, things started out bad and got better as the numbers got lower. I can only hope that this trend will continue.

Have you missed my silly little summary table? Here it is:
