Readlist
updated: 2025.04.07
In December 2019, as a resolution for 2020 (ah, what a year that turned out to be), I made a vow to myself to start cataloging more of the media I consumed on a daily basis. The biggest one was books. I could recall certain movies and television shows I had watched, but never books I had read. The following list proves that I (sometimes) stick to my resolutions and can (on occasion) hold myself accountable. All of that being said, I could stand to read more books. Maybe publicizing my short ass readlist will motivate me to tear deeper into my backlog.
The books are grouped by year, sorted in the order they were read, newest to oldest.
