Book Log (2023)

After the terrible reading year that was 2021, I was so glad to have achieved my reading goal of 2022. The goal hasn’t changed since I began to set annual goals: a book per week, on average.

You can find the lists for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. And here we go: the Spider Kid’s 2023 reading list.
