Reading log
Hello and welcome to my reading log! This is where I document the books and articles I've read or reread. I'm starting this in March 2023 so any books I've read in the past will not be included unless I reread them.
Since I am an adult, this is a disclaimer to any young person visiting this page that most of the stuff I read is geared towards a mature audience or more advanced readers. I will try to attach relevant content warnings to what I have listed here if they need them, but be sure to apply your own judgement before hopping into something that might be outside of your current depth.
I will also include links to any articles, short stories, and books I've read on the web if they are available, as easy access for anyone interested in them.
Pieces that I really enjoyed and/or found interesting are marked in bold.
