Do you list all the the books you read here on GR? I love your books and wonder if you "read for joy" and what you read.

Great question!! When I first joined Goodreads, a thousand years ago, I added a ton of books—but I no longer use Goodreads to organize my personal reading. I just keep a private list (and write reviews to myself, almost like a journal) on my laptop! This is mostly because I really only want to talk publicly about books that I *loved*!! I will never—for example—at this point in my life, rate a book publicly for less than 5 stars. I'm just all about amplifying what's amazing and letting the rest go. I read a lot—as much "for joy" as I can, but my job also means I get asked to read many things I might not otherwise have chosen. But when *I'm* doing the choosing, I'm definitely selecting books with my heart instead of my head. And I always try to post about the books I love, either on social media somewhere or in my newsletter!! 🥰
