2023 reading list
Let’s try this again. Last year was an abysmal failure, so we’re back on the 72-book goal.
Updates
- 1/27/23: I discontinued the TBR list last year, but am reinstating it this year because for some reason I’m feeling good. This year’s TBR is mostly rereads, in keeping with my 2023 goals. Books are listed in alphabetical order by author surname, and will be crossed out as I finish them.
- 1/30/23: lol I keep adding new books somebody stop me

DNF
- The Decameron (Giovanni Boccaccio) – DNF’d 2/3/23 on page 37. I know I asked for this for Christmas, but I really do not have the energy.
- Skull Water (Heinz Insu Fenkl) – DNF’d 4/28/23 on page 16. I’m slightly bored and I’ve lost all interest in the synopsis, to the point where I’m wondering why I picked it up in the first place. Of course, it doesn’t help that I tried to read it right after I finished White Chrysanthemum.
