2024 reading year in review
I enjoyed Tiramisu's post about his reading in 2024, and I wanted to do something similar that I can look back to and hopefully copy throughout the years. I want to take more notes from the books I read, but this seems like a wonderful and simple recap.
In 2024 I read 15108 pages across 75 books. I know this a big number, but I read plenty of graphic novels like Akira and some short books.
