CI'm writing this on December 23rd. At this point I have read or listened to 190 books this year. I don't think I've had a year since I started recording my reading that I've read more than 110. I had so much time on my hands early in the pandemic.
I posted a favorite book each day of December on Facebook. Here's the compilation.
