WOW. I read about half the number of books that I read last year. Which is lowkey criminal for me. I am going to try to change that for 2023, but who knows what the future holds for me. All the same. I will probably be backdating and catching up with posts for August-December of last year, within the upcoming couple of weeks so don’t be surprised.
Also, I did a worse job at keeping track of my manga/webnovels lists than I did last year. As such, I think I’m not going to post about them. Instead I’ll just try to do better in 2023.
