Books

I started tracking my books on Goodreads in 2013. Just for the kick of it, I exported the data for display here. Some caveats: This data is not frequently updated (see date above) because it’s a manual process to export data from Goodreads. Plus, the Goodreads export is kinda strange, so titles are a bit crazy sometimes, and books only appear in the year they’ve most recently been read.
