I want to do a post that is light on my mind and, at the same time, helps me get my books better organised. I’m not where I like to be reading-wise, and it’s not that I’m not reading or listening to books, because I am, but I’m reading thicker books than I was last year I avoided plus I haven’t added all the books I read on Goodreads, so it feels like I’m more behind than reality.
At the end of the day, numbers don’t matter because reading is a tool for my mental health and my hobby. At the start of the year, I commented that Goodreads wasn’t saving my quotes, meaning the ones I highlighted. I wanted to find and share the ones I collected in one place, hence this post. What I find cool is that most of the books I highlighted from are not or little-known, but I’m realising there are a lot of them, so I might do two posts instead of one.

Choking me out with your finger on my pulse. You have cut off my life.
I’m ready to move, but the version of me who survived won’t let me.

Just a speckle of dust in the galaxy of my Being.
I haven’t listed the books in the order in which I read them, but if you want a part 2 for the rest, I can make it.
