For several years now, I’ve attempted to start a reading log that chronicles every novel, short story collection, and non-fiction book I read. The problem? Every log I’ve started until now has ended up scattered across various notebooks, Word documents, and Evernote cards.
Until now.
It’s time to bring everything together. Keeping my reading log online will help me trace my influences as a writer, inspire long-overdue book reviews, and satisfy any curiosity you might have about what I’ve been reading lately.
(Note: I only count works that I’ve read cover to cover. I guess I’m just obsessive compulsive that way.)
