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…
A lot fewer than in previous years. Partly a reflection of how busy the year was, but also just that I was spending more of my down time on other things (like YouTube and Netflix) instead of reading. Total = 85 books January (7) Margot & Me by Juno Dawson Of Orcas and Men by…

For the first time since I started keeping these reading lists, I dipped below 100 books read this year – my total was only 93. I suspect the main reason for that is that I got out of habit of reading for pleasure in the first half of the year, when I was reading so…
