1 I achieved the Shannara Completist badge this year, and also the Landover Completist badge. I'm not claiming the last one since Brooks has hinted that he's got at least one more Landover novel in him. He is officially finished with Shannara, though.
2 I just noticed that I read a lot of books with metal in the titles this year. \m/
3 I claimed the Le Carré Completist badge too soon. He was working on another book when he died that was published posthumously. *sigh* Guess I'll have to start scouring the new arrivals shelf for it soon.
4 Words cannot express how happy I am that I finally found this book after 30-odd years of searching
