A Year’s Books

I stopped updating my list in February, managed to add a few in March, and then didn’t resume tracking until late in September. The gap is not indicative of a lack of actual reading though. ;) I’m taking a more casual approach to list making in the future and shall just be jotting down the title and author, without links or stars or anything else, as I suspect the time and effort it took for all the extra contributed to my falling behind. Plus, I’m in the mood for simplicity: for now, at least. As of September, if I’ve written about the books, I’ve added the post link: those titles appear in burgundy and so are easy to see. The earlier books are all linked to their publishers’ pages.

Thank you for commenting! For a long while, my health precluded me replying to everyone. Yet I missed the conversation, so I'm now making an effort to reply again. It might take a few days though, and there will be times when I simply can't. Regardless, I always read and value what you say.
