Book watchin', watchin' books... what's your power move?
In 2015 I decided to start trying to maintain a running list of all the books I go through in a year. The 2014 listings were constructed from memory, but thereafter I'm trying to update as I go.
In 2023 I started including chapter books I read aloud to my kids, for posterity.
*cough* We'll see how long this lasts. *cough*

Bookwatch 2014
Note that since I didn't actually track books through 2014, I'm pretty sure I'm missing some, and my ordering is a bit off. I also definitely included some that I actually read near the end of 2013, as my reading habit got a massive reboot kickstart with my maternity leave that began Sept 2013, but remembering which books I inhaled Sept-Dec vs Dec-Feb is too much to ask given my state at the time.
