Books I've Read

30 March, 2015
Last updated:

Here’s a (mostly complete) list of books I’ve read in my life, starting around 3rd grade. I am definitely missing lots of the earlier ones, but I have included nearly all from around freshman year of high school (2007) and beyond. Alternatively, you can view my goodreads account.

Occasionally I’ll write a brief review for books I’ve read.

My rating system can be interpreted as follows…
     5. Would read again (if I was in the habit of rereading books)
     4. Probably would not reread
     3. Wish I had read something else instead
     2. Did not enjoy
     1. Unwillingly finished
     U. Unfinished

  • Audiobooks are indicated by 🎧
