Currently reading

This page is to keep track of books I’m reading, to ensure I don’t have six unfinished books in progress, and to remind me to finish the ones I’ve started. I’m always reading or re-reading something, the re-reads are in italic.

Everything under a month is a book that I finished reading that month, there is also a section for “did not finish” at the bottom of the page. I'll be updating on a Goodreads page (my 2023 in books), and maybe on BookWyrm.
