I read lots of manga last year does that count 😂 (highly recommend “Frieren”, “Witch Hat Atelier”, “Hakumei & Mikoch“. Basic b manga recs but IMHO these manga are, as the youth say, goated) Aside from that I probably read 3 books last year (if that) and one was just listening to the audiobook of The
