Reading List

Although I'm not a great reader, I try to stick to the "to-read" list that I keep on my Goodreads account. Preparing this list made me realise that, I have been reading a lot around 2016-17 and also made me want to read like back then: Relentlessly pursuing an author's books, series or anything similar to the books that I've read recently.

2022 wasn't as full of reading as I wanted it to be. Not sure about 2023 either.

★: I recommend that book.

★★: I'll have to hunt you down and beat you with a club if you don't read it.

(A): Audiobook
(R): Repeat / Read again
