Currently reading

This page is to keep track of books I’m reading, to ensure I don’t have six unfinished books in progress, and to remind me to finish the ones I’ve started. I’m always reading or re-reading something, the re-reads are in italic.

Everything under a month is a book that I finished reading that month, there is also a section for “did not finish” at the bottom of the page. I'll be updating on a StoryGraph page, see my 2024 and 2023 wrap-ups. I'm stopping updates on GoodReads because of Amazon.
