Books Read 2020

 It has been a wildass year. While some fun times in the spring gave me a little extra time to read, while also wondering briefly if I was going to lose my job completely, once the boss recovered and we officially re-opened for business we were then busier than ever for the rest of the year. Still I managed to eke out time to read yet more books than last year.

Books Read 2018

 Life is busy. I realized I've reached the point where while I am somebody who loves books, I don't find anywhere near as much time to actually read them as I'd like. I feel like recording the books I've read for the year both allows me to look back and remember what I enjoyed (and didn't), and also a goal to read more books the next year than the last.

What kept me going this past year, obviously, was a Discworld kick. A lot of these were re-reads and that's okay!

Snuff - Terry Pratchett
