If you’ve followed these annual round-ups from me (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024), you’ll know that I’ve been struggling with my annual reading challenge (and as always, this only covers proper books, as I still read tons of comics, bandes-dessinĂ©es, content on the web, and magazines), and this year…
