(2024) read: 56 / goal: 52 / JRI: 16/12

[kareila]

Total number of (new to me) books read is slightly up from last year, which is surprising considering how many Valdemar books I reread this year. (Storygraph thinks that I read 83 books this year, including rereads and minor works.)

I'm also pleased to see my Just Read It count is way up, meaning that I've made good progress on my eternal backlog. Just don't ask how many of them I repurchased in order to get them on my Kindle... and that's going to be a continuing trend as long as most of my own books are in storage.
