Well, as you can see quite a few I still need/want to get. Hopefully I can get them soon~

A total of 160 books. 29 more books than in 2023, but also way more I need these books and more Not Interested. I guess that is what happens when my life is chaotic and prices at Amazon and Libristo (and we are not talking about Dutch prices) are still rising. I am at least proud that out of all of these I only have one book on my TBR, which is 3 less than from my 2023 Releases.

Let’s see if I get to reading all the books I still want to get/read I would love it if it was possible. *crosses fingers*

A big thank you to all who stuck around to the end, thank you for reading, and wish me luck with my 2024 releases! Let’s see how this post looks in 2026 with my 2025 releases!
