A log of all the books I've read, by year. It might be out of date. See my goodreads for an up to date list. I think literally every single book I've read is logged, since I only started to read in 2016.

(pre-2020: WIP, I'll update whenever I feel like spending a couple of hours copy pasting).

The date pointed is the day I finished the book.(day/month)
