I'm also in with the goal of 20 books. I also read indie authors which aren't on this site, that's why the low goal.

I started the year with two very enjoyable reads: James Lovegrove's "Firefly: Big Damn Hero" and Martha Wells' "Artificial Condition".

Lovegrove's novel is based on the TV-show Firefly and gets the characters and the setting. I'm eagerly looking forward to his next Firefly book which comes out in March.

Wells' novella was a fine continuation to "All Systems Red" and continues the adventures of Murderbot, the security android who just wants to be left alone and view the shows it likes. This time it is trying to find out what really happened years ago when it supposedly killed a lot of humans.

I just finished H. G. Wells' "The Time Machine". I enjoy time travel a lot (alas, just reading about it ). In fact, many of my favorite stories have time travel, so it was time to read the first one. Unfortunately, I wasn't thrilled but I didn't hate it, either. Very idea focused story.
