I wanted to be fancier with this than I feel like doing, but can’t bring myself to create the nice table to go along with it. So I’ll just slap a rating on each book, and you can give them a look or ask me for more info if so desired. It should go without saying that these ratings reflect only my personal opinion, and yours may vary widely. I think, assuming I can count, I’ve completed 44 for the year. Still working on a couple, but they won’t be finished before 12 so I guess I won’t count them. Enjoy.
