61. Beukes - The Shining Girls
Bloody but amazing story of a girl in pursuit of a serial killer with a strange way of finding his targets.

62. Schinner - The Homemade Vegan Pantry: The Art Of Making Your Own Staples
Great book for some basics, but being with nut allergy some recipes were not useful.

63. Chambers - The Long Way To A Small Angry Planet
Comfort sci-fi, is what this book is. Very heartwarming.

64. Sidney & Sidney - The Sidney Psalter
Psalms done in different ways you can do poems, very cleverly.

65. Morishita - Every Day A Good Day: 15 Lessons I Learned About Happiness From Japanese Tea Culture (Finnish translation)
If you love tea, you might love this. Tea as a form of mindfulness also. A good introduction into tea ceremony.

66. A.Jones - A Modern Way To Eat: Over 200 Satisfying Everyday Vegetarian Recipes (That Will Make You Feel Amazing)
Somewhat British, but great cookbook.

67. Parker - There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé: Poems
Snappy collection of poems, traveling in a black woman's world. Much connection with Beyoncé.

68. Lim - The Dead Sea Scrolls: A Very Short Introduction
69. Cline - Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction
Both very informative, yet not too long with it. :)

70. Murakami - Birthday Girl (English translation)
A short story with its usual Murakami strangeness (but not too strange).

71. Grogan - A Simple Penance Book
On confession.

72. The Douay-Rheims Bible
Another good Bible translation.

73. Bergoglio/Pope Francis - Easter Vigil Homilies (English translation)
Good one, lots to think about.

74. Twisleton - Using The Jesus Prayer: Steps To A Simpler Christian Life
Using the Jesus Prayer as an Anglican, again new points of view for me.

75. Groeschel - Jesus & Mary: In Praise Of Their Glorious Names
What it says.

76. Yeung - The Confidence Project: Your Plan For Persoal Growth, Happiness & Success
Great one.

77. Groeschel - After This Life: What Catholics Believe About What Happens Next
78. Groeschel - Praying In The Presence Of Our Lord: Prayers For Eucharistic Adoration
The first one was okay, nothing new to me. The second one was more useful.

79. Samperi - Our Lady Untier Of Knots: Story Of A Marian Devotion
A German devotion made more popular these by Pope Francis, among others.

80. Willcox, Willcox & Suzuki - The Okinawa Program: How The World's Longest-Lived People Achieve Everlasting Health & How You Can Too
Quite thorough, and just about the food.

81. Mosconi - Brain Food: How To Eat Smart & Sharpen Your Mind
Useful, though not the best.

82. Yanagi - The Beauty Of Everyday Things (English translation)
About folk art and all its forms, in Japan.

83. Dorey - No More Plastic: What You Can Do To Make A Difference
Short but packed book; UK-centric but useful even for those not there.

84. McKeown - Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit Of Less
Some might say you don't need to read the book because the title says it all, but I found reading it giving the idea more depth.

85. Clear - Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way To Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
Another book about habits: some mind-blowing ideas there.

86. Billy - Tending The Mustard Seed: Living The Faith In Today's World
What it says.

87. Hebwood - Happiness Rules
Good one: it is true that knowing yourself (especially looking back on your life and realising how you are) is important... some later ideas in the book are not as convincing to me, but overall a good read.

88. The Daily Walk Bible (KJV)
Some notes made interesting points, but rather US-evangelical ("you gotta be saved") with opinions I disagree about, so this one goes to the library soon.

*rewind noise* (let's see where I end up next, next year)
