About
I'm a lifelong lover of books, and what started out as some short recommendations of my “Books of the Year” turned into…well, something that's bordering on a second job. My goal is to read as many top releases each year as I can — many of them prior to their release date — primarily so that I can celebrate the great books that come out every year. I love spreading the good news about great books.
Everything I finish gets a review and a rating out of five, and gets immediately ranked among the other books I've finished that year. No waiting until December for a “Best of” list; my Best Books of the Year list is live all year and updated every time I finish a book.
Happy reading!
