104/52. When you've got time on your hands and finally accept ebooks...
I kinda over did it this year. I usually finish the year at about 70 books read but with the pandemic and me finally getting into ebooks (thank you public libraries) I went way over what I thought I would. I'd vehemently denied using ebooks until this year but got curious about a month into COVID. Hopefully next year calms down a little bit and I can go back down to 70ish books. Well here's my list, the highlights of my year are in bold.
