Book Lists

I have kept these lists since 2016 and felt like I should have a place to share them. I don‘t think it really makes sense to rate books on a common scale, but I decided to mark the books I had particular feelings about with emoji.

  • ⭐️ books were revelations
  • ❤️ books were favorites
  • ✅ books are nonfiction recommendations
  • 👎 books, imho, are books to avoid

In general, when I‘ve read a book before, I won‘t give it an emoji. Books without emoji are still on the whole great books, but I‘ve found again and again that there is always a set of books that end up defining each year, and I wanted a way to highlight those.
