Last year, I decided to trade my screen time with reading time. I used to love books as a child but compulsary readings in high school made me hate it. I started reading again in the past couple of years but only maybe 5 books in average per year.
At first, I only planned on reading for an hour each day before bedtime. I never would have thought that it would become so addicting that I started reading all day everyday. I even kind of neglected work a bit. Sometimes, I think that if I was in prison, I would still be happy if I had that much free time to read.
Here are the 103 books I read this year!
