Books of 2020. 📚
Like in 2019, this year I kept a list of books I read and the mediums I read them in.
Math + charts do well on paper, but not on Kindle. I prefer Kindle - if it’s a story format and/or light, I’ll do audiobook.
If there is a date after the item, it’s when I completed it (i.e. (12/22)).
This year I completed 23 books.
