List of books I’ve read

I stopped obsessively tracking books I read, decided I don’t need the excessive stats. I keep a list ’cause I’ll forget.

Screenshot of Wotakoi anime scene that says "The better the book is, the faster I read it."

This list is updated manually. I don’t include single-chapter “books” here.
