How many books did you read this year? Only 84 88 91 (I finished 4 between queuing this post and December 31st, and then realised I hadn’t added another 3 on goodreads). Reading on an ipad has its downside… Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to get to ten favourite books. I did have to think for a while about the last two.
You could put a gap marker “…” to indicate that the last two aren’t in the same tier as the first eight. I think the annual top 10 list is a great ritual.
you two are awesome!
i’ll pass this list along to amy jo.
