Usually at the beginning of each year, I make a list of X books I want to read during the year (matches with the year, 24 in 2024, etc.). This year, however, it seems I forgot to do that haha! So instead, because I read a lot, I’m going to challenge myself with 25 books I want to read within in the next 6 months.

For these books, I want to focus on my physcial TBR (with the help of Libby audiobooks, because I am a sucker for audiobooks!), so all of these books are books I physically own.

2. Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor
3. The Fractured Dark by Megan E. O’Keefe
