That is a lot of reading! I am trying to get into reading my books. I think I get focused on other things and I don’t make it a priority as I should.

I regularly add ridiculous amounts of books to my reading list. Hopefully I will get to all of these some day…

Sadly, it’s true. There are thousands of books on it. I read them as fast as I can, but I am always adding new ones.
