It’s the first reading log of a new year, so now I need to desperately try to remember to type 2021 while I slowly crumble under the sheer amount of reading I got done in the last month. Time to take a look!

It’s time for the final reading log of the year, where I also work out how much time I’ve wasted away reading books instead of doing anything else!

It’s almost Christmas! This hell of a year is finally winding down, hopefully leading to better things next time around. I don’t think I read quite as much in November as I did October, but time to find out for sure…

So somehow I read 65 manga and 25 light novels compared to 38/18 last month, but I guess reading so much Bakuman will do that to a person! Meanwhile the pile of shame continues to look particularly unhealthy as I add to it faster than I read anything out of it (you’d think writing these posts every month would actually do something for me eventually)…

Now we’re headed into October the weather is starting to be colder, which is the perfect time to sit around and binge books! The amount of books in my pile of shame is steadily growing, but I’m hoping I’ve made some progress in keeping them under control.

So quite a few completed series this month (which is especially nice when it comes to LNs since it feels like so many simply never end). Numbers are down a bit from August being 38 and 18 vs 59/20, but I am pleased I didn’t fall too far behind in my LN reading. Heck if you count Katanagatari as 3 books I actually accomplished more than usual. ^^;

Here’s the backlog atm, looking pretty busy since I bought a number of books off a friend of mine. Hahaha…ha.

Currently reading: Combatants Will Be Dispatched! volume 4 (LN)
