I read fewer books this year than I did the last several, which I’m choosing to see as a sign of a *vastly* improved social life and *vastly* decreased professional reading expectations.
Glad to hear someone else gave up ratings, I found it incredibly stressful to rate books knowing that others would pick it up to read based on that. I love how less alone I feel whenever I read your writings, Dana and at the same time often challenged!

That's a really powerful compliment!
Ok I get the arbitrariness of the ratings but then how do remember which ones are your favorites?
My internal rating system relies a *lot* on how memorable the reading experience was! If I don't remember it, then it wasn't a fave.
