Another year has passed by, and though I probably have over 10,000 words worth of notes for the books I read in attempts to put together individual book reviews, that did not happen, so I will be doing what I did for 2023: a "short" review for each book I read.

I finished 12 books in 2024, 9 being in English and 3 being in Chinese. In addition, I started 3 books, two of which I will continue reading, and one of which I dropped. I’ll also cover the 4 books I did not finish last year, with one I have definitively dropped for personal reasons.

Books Read in 2023: A Summary

To be honest, I didn’t read that many books in 2023, and I most definitely read less Chinese characters than I did in 2022. That being said, I did get to walk away from most of my reads with thoughts, which is always a good thing. In total, I finished 10 books. It isn’t much, but there were a few others I tried out and simply didn’t make the cut. All reviews contain spoilers to some degree, but for sections where I thought spoilers were unsuitable, I tried to keep it vague. This is because I feel like spoilers shouldn’t take away from the experience of getting to know a story, and if it does, maybe it wasn’t that well-written.
