Sometimes, I don’t finish a book (incomp) – I either didn’t like it, I turned my attention to a different one and forgot about it, or it got returned before I could finish it. Sometimes, I re-read a book after a few decades (re). Sometimes, I try an audiobook (au). Sometimes, I forget when I read a book (no date). Sometimes, I don’t add books to this list (those in the education genre, mostly). Sometimes, I need help adding to this list (contact me!).
