This is a running tab of the books read this year. At the end of the year, I convert this into a summary, including the highlights from a year’s worth of reading. Each entry has a link to the short reviews I post as I finish each book.

If you’re interested in picking up any of these, the list is replicated at my Bookshop.org affiliate stand.
