Here you can find my ratings for every book I’ve read since January 2018. You can search and sort the list.
Column Explanations:
Number of Times Read – Times read since January 2018.
My Rating – My rating for the book on a 10-point scale. The rating is indicative of how well I enjoyed the book. I’m considering revising my ratings so that I can give half ratings (e.g., 8.5), but for now, enjoy the whole numbers. When reflecting back on books I’ve read, I will occasionally change a rating for a book, but for the most part, I try to keep the rating I gave the book directly after finishing it.
Website Links – Contains links to any articles I have written about the book.
Buy on Amazon – Links to the Amazon, so you can purchase the book. I may receive a small commission for items bought with this link.
