Finished this year with 49 books read, and excited to have several more fiction stories I’m looking into. I’ve also discovered I’ve enjoyed reading biographies and will likely read more this year.

I’ve also introduced tier lists to give more insight into how I enjoy books rather than pure ranking.

All books are listed from most-enjoyed descending to least-enjoyed, per category.
