I’ll add up the total pages read when the year ends and I’ll update this list as more are finished.
*Note*
My ranking system is personal.
5’s usually mean that it got me to see the world in a new way, it entertained me in an unexpected way, or it offered what I needed to hear at this point in my life.
I’ve found that when you read books – meaning the timing and circumstances of your life – impacts your feelings about that book.
So, if I rate a book lower than you would, can we still be friends?
