I try to keep this page fairly current; I last updated it on May 6, 2020. A few notes on the way this is organized and presented:

• In the “Completed” section and for previous years, entries appear in the order I finished the books.
• Previous years only include books from years where I actually know what I read!
• Books are marked “(new)” if this was the first time I read them, or “(reread)” otherwise.
• I separate out fiction and non-fiction not because I value them differently, but because they just are very different.
• Links on the books themselves are affiliate links to Alibris!
