Unsettling.

As much as I cherish each second within the Cosmere, I must admit that my journey rereading each book has started catching up with me, I think.

Just pledged for the new Brandon Sanderson Secret Project Isles of the Emberdark. First time I’ve ever done anything like that.

I modified 2023 to reflect no manga, and, if short stories are in a collected piece, I use that piece and not each individual story. This modified Dragonball Super, My Hero Academia, some Steven King, The Expanse short stories and The Cosmere short stories. Now I show 96/100 2023. Just wanted to challenge myself more for 2024.
