last year, i had a goal to read 100 books. i barely completed it in time. this year, since i was going to spend the last third of the year in an exchange program, i figured around 70 books was a reasonable goal. ah. eheh. instead i read 130. here they are.
here's my fav art piece of 2023 too lol
<- i graduate highschool
<- i get a job
i read a lot! and a lot of very different things. and only reread rodrigo of caledon twice... you should read rodrigo of caledon. or maybe the seafort saga. i will die very happy if you do :'D
anyway don't judge me too much for any of these specific books, i simply read anything i can get my hands on. yeah. that's it. i've got excellent taste.
