books in black wooden book shelf

All the books I've read

The books have been chronologically arranged based on the date I finished reading the book. The sad thing is that I’ve only read about ~90 books in my lifetime 😞

2020 is the year I’ll take this above 100. It’s quite obvious from the list below that my tastes have evolved. I’ve gone from short stories to thrillers to self-help books to non-fiction and philosophical.

I’ll add very short reviews for some of these books soon! The no. of stars indicate the rating. I haven’t rated books I don’t recommend or I didn’t like much.
