Here’s what I’m reading right now.
This page lists books I’ve read this year, with previous years via link at the bottom.
If “Date Finished” is empty, I’m still working on it. The rating is out of five, with 1 being “I can’t believe I finished this thing!” and 5 being a book that I really loved or got a lot out of reading.
Comments are my short thoughts on the book, or a link to longer notes.
