In 2023, I read 96 books. Most years I don't get further than 3.I borrowed all but the first 2 books from my local library. I did the math and if I had purchased all those books, it would have cost $2205. I turned over 20k pages, and listened to over 330 hours. My favorite app to record in is @thestorygraph . It's a small team, not a giant corporation. ♥️ 📖
My book of the year is Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.

My granddad loved this book, and he's right, it's fantastic. It's like a Pratchett book but with no plot or momentum, just three guys and a dog travelling on a river. The lanuage swings from buautiful to hilarious within sentences. I loved it! #Reading2023
I've been slack in keeping up with the Daily Dracula emails, so I reached the end of the classic a bit late, but for the second year in a row it's been a great ride. If it happens next year, I really recommend it! #Reading2023

This story was hilarious! It feels exactly like old school cyberpunk, but using modern jargon, which makes the main character just come across as very sad... Then it has a twist that I loved, but I don't know if it helped the story resolve properly... #Reading2023

“I lined up a new gig for you,” said the Glovemaster. “All you have to do is protect one special guy.” I sat in my trailer with my Bluetooth headphones on and my laptop perched on an Amazon box. I wore a boonie hat with a militia logo.

I absolutely loved Lucky Luke cartoons as a kid, and so it was interesting to read this modern take from a new artist. Looks good, feels proper serious western, but lacked meat. #Reading2023

Epic 😀 And to think that many in that crowd weren't even born when this song came out. A timeless classic. 🤩

I think my #SummerReading pile (or my subconscious?) is trying to tell me it is time we go to the sea 💙🩵! #WhatAcademicsRead #Reading2023
I thought the story behind the scientists who discovered Gravity Waves would make for a fascinating tale! Unfortunately, the author isn't a great storyteller, and the book kinda fizzles. #Reading2023
