My rating guide:
1 star = did not finish
2 stars = I struggled to finish/would not read again
3 stars = It was a decent read.
4 stars = Great book
5 stars = Awesome book
*I also did ranges between each like "2.5 or 2.75" if I wasn't sure if it was a solid 2 or 3.
This year I will be doing something different by listing books I read by month and in the order in which I read them. Also, my teenager gave me a goal of 200 books and anything counts! It doesn't matter what genre or age range so you will see children books and more on this year's list! Some books are linked to videos I did about them so make sure to check them out!
