By some miracle, back in Dec 2020, I got myself to start reading books, for the first time in probably 10 or 12 years. Even more incredible is I started waking up early in the morning to do it.

In order to force myself to continue this habit, I'm making this a public page on my blog. With a full year calendar to indicate the days I've read. Kinda like the "Every Day Calendar" by Simone Giertz...but I can't afford one, and this site is free.

Current book:

{% for book in site.data.books.current %}

• [{{ book.title }}{% if book.author %} by {{ book.author }}{% endif %}]({{ book.link }}) {% if book.summary %} * {{ book.summary }}{% endif %} {% endfor %}

Recently finished books:

{% for month in site.data.books.finished %}

{{ month[0] | capitalize }}:

{% for book in month[1] %}

• [{{ book.title }}{% if book.author %} by {{ book.author }}{% endif %}]({{ book.link }}) {% if book.rating %} * My rating: {{ book.rating }}{% endif %} {% if book.summary %} * Summary: {{ book.summary }}{% endif %} {% endfor %} {% endfor %}

Todo List:

{% assign todoSorted = site.data.books.todo | sort: "title" %} {% for book in todoSorted %}

• [{{ book.title }}{% if book.author %} by {{ book.author }}{% endif %}]({{ book.link }}) {% if book.summary %} * {{ book.summary }}{% endif %} {% endfor %}
