subtitle: Tracking my reading.

I generally read a lot of high-fantasy, as is evident from my Sanderson
streaks. For 2022 (and now 2023), I'm switching it up a bit and picking
up books from varied genres and authors to try and expand my interests.

I've obviously read a lot more than this, but I can't remember beyond
2020.
