All 170 books that I read in 2023
The list from last night's livestream
I don’t expect you to watch this entire thing, it’s really just me staring at the screen and reading stuff. There’s a bit of discussion in the last twenty minutes or so with the few people in the chat, so that was cool.
But if you wanted to play it in the background for my $0.02 on 170 different books, be my guest. In the meantime, here’s the list in print. Bold titles were physical copies, regular titles are audiobooks, italics are books I didn’t completely finish. The numbers next to the month are books finished and books abandoned.
