Nice top 10 Emma! 😊

capped off the year with a 3.0 average so, not great. out of the 80 books i read this year, i had 3 five stars 🥲

can i ask a personal question? what job do you work that enables this amount of reading? i am a student so i read over 100 books this year as i only have 8 hours of in-person work per week but i can’t imagine working 40+ hours per week and still reading so many, let alone more

I think I am a slow reader 🥲

How can you read 250 in one year omg. I read 130 and I’m a full time student (30 hours per week) plus extracurricular (5 hours) and I’m a fast reader. That’s honestly amazing for you

I read 20 books. It may be little for some people, but for me, is a improvement, since last year I only read 3...

Pretty good! 160. And I’m hoping to squeeze in one or two more before midnight Wednesday. I loved some of the ones you didn’t like very much and loathed some you loved. But a fair bit we aligned on. The joy of reading: there’s something for everyone!

Admiration is a euphemism for your ability and tenacity when it comes to reading books. If you do everything like that in life, success in all its meanings flows from your body as a natural norm, Emma.

i work remotely, so i fill in the gaps with reading — but in truth it's just how i spend nearly all of my free time!

thank you gareth!

Hey Emma!!. I totally understand the 'huh'! I just wanted to say that my comment comes from a fellow book lover. Eight years ago, I had an accident that left me with neurological sequels, and I went from reading like you to only being able to finish 5 or 6 books a year. Seeing your list truly moved me. It was a sincere compliment from the heart, reader to reader. No weird vibes intended, just pure admiration! :-)
