Mastodon 20 books project
30 Jul 2024 - 23 Nov 2024
- 20books20days
20 books that have had an impact on who you are. One book a day for 20 days. No explanations, no reviews, just book covers.
- I cheated a bit and included links back here when appropriate. Tried to alternate fiction and non-fiction, and ended up reaching way back into childhood reading which was rather delightful (I remember so little of those days, but the books have stayed with me).
- Tempted to do a data project and gather everyone's books in some graph. In my copious free time.
