Introduction
This is a list of the books I’ve read excluding school assignments, including notable series and games. I mostly borrow books or read them as e-books or audiobooks, so I keep my library in the form of a list.
Each entry is also given a rating from 1 (bad) to 5 (great) and I also documented the language of each book that I’ve read. Note that the review score tends to change over time - but since I typically read a book only once, the reviews represent my perception of the work after finishing it for the first time.
Below the book list is also a list of series and games I’ve watched or played.
Think there should be a book, series or game on the list? Then you can recommend it to me :D
