I only read 76 books this year, but I did close out some series–well, at least I read all the volumes in certain series that I owned, including the Executioner whose books I started picking up about a decade ago, some children’s books that I bought before I had children, and re-read some volumes of James Blish’s Star Trek series which turned episodes of the television series into short stories.

I read several volumes of poetry, a couple plays, and only a couple pieces of literature not counting the classic children’s volumes (My Ántonia and The Red Badge of Courage). So I guess I’ll have to dig into something more serious in 2023.
