The Books I’ve Read

I am keeping a list of all the books I read (or listen to). This is a work in progress.
I began this list in 2024, so prior to that my memory gets hazy… I will try and update the list regularly.

When it comes to fiction, my preferences are sci-fi, fantasy, LitRPG, GameLit and occasionally: historical fantasy. For non-fiction, I like to read about business, economics, investing and sometimes history books.
