Reading

I read a lot, usually fiction but not always. Always happy to talk about books and get recommendations. I have read 160 books this year and have 1,414 books in my to-read pile. For the complete list, see my StoryGraph profile. I get most of my books from Vastela Books in Zurich.

I built two tools for getting through a long to-read pile:

  • Shelfwatchr takes a StoryGraph, Goodreads or Fable to-read export, checks it against all your library cards on Libby at once, and tells you what you can borrow right now and what you can place a hold on.
  • Spotifind takes the same export and checks which books are on Spotify as audiobooks, then writes a report of what’s available. Can also save the finds straight to your Spotify library.
