What I read in 2020
Again, a relatively short list (for me – in some years I’ve got up over 150 books), but for some reason I just didn’t feel as inspired to read this year – probably because I was so busy with everything else. One big part of the drop in numbers is because I mostly stopped listening to audio books, because the library app doesn’t work properly on my phone. So I switched to listening to podcasts while walking to and from work instead.

Wow, impressive. You should be on Goodreads.com. I used to keep lists like this every year and then I found Goodreads. I love it.
A lot of my bookcrossing friends use Goodreads, but for some reason it never really attracted me. I should have another look some time.
