What I Read This Year

I read a lot. This year, it was 274 books.

People ask me all the time what I read, where I find them, and how I choose. So instead of answering one text at a time, I’m putting them here.

This isn’t a ranked list. It’s not a syllabus. It’s just what I was drawn to. Sometimes for comfort, sometimes for escape, sometimes because BookTok got me, and sometimes because I needed something soft… or not.

Take what you want. Skip what you don’t.
