Alrighty; I’m making a fresh home post for 2024.
Modifiers
- I’m going to try to only use books from my backlog for this challenge (backlog = bought before 2024)
- I also, if possible, only want to count books that are LNs or novels, since I want to increase my novel-reading endurance. If this becomes impractical, however, I’ll allow manga.
