Although I'm not a great reader, I try to stick to the "to-read" list that I keep on my Goodreads account. Preparing this list made me realise that, I have been reading a lot around 2016-17 and also made me want to read like back then: Relentlessly pursuing an author's books, series or anything similar to the books that I've read recently.
2021 was okay, though it wasn't as immersive with reading as I'd like it to be. I'm more hopeful on 2022.
★: I recommend that book.
★★: I'll have to hunt you down and beat you with a club if you don't read it.
(A): Audiobook
