Books of 2023

Is it cliché to set a goal to read more books at the start of the new year? Yes. Am I doing it anyways? Also yes.

I haven't decided on a set number of books to read, I simply wanted to read more this year. At the end of the year, I'll try to do a little reflection post about the books I've read this year.

The following is a list of books I'm currently reading, have finished, decided to not continue (for one reason or another), and potential books. Links are to the Goodreads entry or other relevant source for the book.

Currently Reading

• Ascension by Nicholas Binge
