CURRENTLY READING:

I am on StoryGraph tracking my reading and the reading challenges I've joined. You can go to my StoryGraph profile if you want to see what kind of reading I've saddled myself with this year, although I'm listing current reads here & finished reads on my Chronology of Finishment so that you don't have to create an account if you don't want to.
