I am late to the party on this one, but I finally decided to keep a record of all the books I read in a year. For writers, this is a pleasant way of reminding oneself of the idea to keep reading; read everything. It will benefit one’s writing.
Books I finished reading in 20203:
The hyperlinks direct to Halifax Public Library or Indigo only to show the book’s cover for those interested. They are not necessarily the version I read, nor am I endorsing a purchase.

The more stars, the more I enjoyed it. I doubt I will be able to beat the 25 books I read in 2023 with all the moving activity and creating new routines. Still, the point is the journey to help my literary career. I hope it is the same for you and that these books pique your interest.
How about you? Do you have a list of books read in a given year?
