I wasn’t here yet!

Teaching semesters as illustrated by my StoryGraph 😄

Don’t really include academic books - they’re often not read in their entirety and don’t feel like valid entries.
Anyone have a satisfying system for tracking research / teaching reading for the year?
Page numbers?
Zotero tags?
