Thanks for reading!
This was an amazing reading year for me! I’m so thrilled with my stats, especially considering how insanely busy this year was with finding a new job, holding down two jobs and various side projects, and the most time consuming of all; THE WEDDING.

    You had a great reading year! My average rating was 3.9. I hope I can bump it up to a four this year. I was too much time on mediocre books.

    It must have been a great reading year to have an average rating over 4.0, that's great! I think mine hovered around 3.5, which is about par for the course. There are always a few duds that I just never manage to avoid. I hope 2019 is just as great for you!
