So that translates to a roughly 10% favourite rate, which is surprisingly high! One in ten books is a favourite. These numbers are books I've read so far this year as of writing this post- which is the 27th of November. I've probably read more books by the time this goes up.
I actually read a wide variety of genres, but clearly, my favourite is high/epic fantasy. I feel like I read a lot of contemporary novels that make it to "incredible" but not to "favourite". Just missing that extra something, I guess.
So clearly I've read a crapload of Brandon Sanderson books- I actually discovered him this year, and he's become my favourite author. Pretty much every single book of his has become one of my favourites.
The one book I don't own a copy of (yet) is The Crimson Campaign! And that's only because I'm waiting for the smaller version to come out so that it matches my copy of Promise of Blood.
Some questions for you!
Have you read any of these books?
