I have continued to voraciously consume Warhammer lore, in various forms, in 2020, and almost the entirety of this list is made up of such. Many of these are short stories I recorded individually, some are novels, some are complations of short stories, some are magazines, some are lore or rules supplements for the tabletop game, et cetera.
I don't really know how to express all of this in 'books read' or anything, nor do I have a wordcount, but the day this year when I haven't been reading something has been rare. And I feel like that is a good thing! So, here's to more of that going forward into 2021. If I have one resolution, it would be to read more non-fiction, as well. History, especially.
From this massive list below, I'd like to choose a book of the year, and it must fall to Dan Abnett's Saturnine, the incredible fourth novel in the Horus Heresy: Siege of Terra series. Other highlights include Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Spear of the Emperor, Chris Wraight's Valdor: Birth of the Imperium and Watchers of the Throne: The Emperor's Legion, Guy Haley's Devastation of Baal and Dawn of Fire: Avenging Son, Graham McNeill's Sons of the Selenar and Fury of Magnus, and oh, I'll stop now. Suffice it to say there is some really good stuff being written for Warhammer properties!
