I ended up reading 28 books in 2024 which is 5 books less than I read in 2023 and almost half as many of the 50 books I read in 2022. So the plan is to definitely read more than 28 books in 2025 or it'll start to look like I'm devolving with age. I'll try to buy fewer books this year as I have so many unread books piled up around me. I can't promise anything though as I … [Read more...] about Books I Have Read in 2025

This is the second year that I have been keeping track of the books that I have finished reading. See the Books that I read in 2022 here and my Top 5 Books for the year.

The Books I Have Read in 2022
These are the books that I have read in 2022. I started out reading three books per month, then four, and have found that five is the right number for me. I read lots of books at one time so I can choose how many I finish in one month. If it's the twentieth of the month and I have already finished 5 books then I'll focus more on some of the big 600+ page tomes! January 2022 … [Read more...] about The Books I Have Read in 2022
