Library
Here is a complete list of books on my shelves as of 6/26/25, organized by author. Have I read most of them? Not even close! Actually, I can’t stop buying them. I’ve been trying to order less DoorDash and I think I’m just replacing one habit with another. Both will separate me from my money. But the good news is I only have so much space for books, so eventually I’ll have to stop! Right?
P.S. It’s kinda bullshit there isn’t a way to add a table to these pages. :/ Oh well.
