A brilliant year of book reading (2022/First edition)

I still love the feel of a physical book in my hands and throughout my life I have collected many, many books.

At the end of 2021 I started to track the books I read, mostly because I started to read a ‘new’ book and realise shortly into the story that I had read it before (sometimes rather recently too). I also didn’t want to start duplicating books on my shelves because I wasn’t tracking them properly.

I know there are many library apps and book reading tracking apps out there, but I settled on the simple and elegant libib Library management web app. Using libib to track my reading in 2022 I can now say I completed 31 books in that year, and I can share that list here. The first of what will hopefully be an annual list of books read in the year:
