📚 Book Blog Overview / Index 📚

Book blog (2022–2026)

This blog was loosely structured around the books I finished reading in a calendar month. In 2024 I put the blog on "partial hiatus" (that is, continued listing the books, but did not necessarily blog about them). In 2026 I decided to stop the blog as it is; I hope to pick up another blogging practice with different parameters on this website soon, but will have to think through what that looks like. Stay tuned!

Caveat: these are just my impressions; it's likely I misread the content of books and/or formed an opinion that's half-baked or concerns my own interiority more than anything in the actual text.
