My (non-exhaustive) notes and reviews on books I’ve read, in no particular order. Not a spoiler-free zone. Recent reads are added to the top. Not every read will have notes. Not everything I read will be entered into the table; sometimes I forget and move on to the next book.
My hierarchy for reviews is:
⭐️⭐️ = This is one of the best books I’ve read, has changed the way I view the world, and actively look forward to re-reading this, and would recommend this to anyone. I’d anticipate 1/10 books fit into this category.
⭐️ = A great read, and would happily re-read this, and would recommend this to anyone. I’d anticipate 2/10 books fit into this category
👍 = I liked this one, but probably not enough to re-read. A perfectly ok way to spend your time. Your mileage may vary on this. Maybe 5/10 books fit into this category.
¯\(ツ)/¯ = I am indifferent about this one. Will not re-read this. Maybe 1/10 books fit into this category.
👎 = I dislike this, and would not recommend. I wish I could go back in time and unread this. Maybe 1/10 books fit into this category.
