Here was the Mastodon thread of what I read last year and here’s my 2024 booklist. This is the thread of the books I am reading this year. This was a slightly challenging year of navigating some health stuff (which has been working out well; nothing serious just getting some age-appropriate attention) which meant a LOT of reading. I didn’t mind it but I might have liked being out doing more other things. Most of the non-fiction I read was graphic novels (my library tends to like “graphic memoir” formats). I started 137 books and finished 135. I finally managed to read a majority of female and non-binary authors. I tried to get ChatGPT to tell me how many pages I’d read in 2024 and it could not, so I’ll just say it felt like a lot!
