I read 121 #books this year. My "read" includes listening to #audiobooks, else I wouldn't manage to read that amount of books.
My favourites this year were
"The Devil And The Dark Water" by Stuart Turton",
"The Brilliant Abyss" by Helen Scales and
"American Prometheus" by Kai Bird.
The surprise of the year came in quite late: "Gray" by Leonie Swann.
I read a lot of very good books about Big Tech and Climate Change, both topics will very likely be also huge in 2024.
