This is a list of 375 fiction and non-fiction books I’ve read since 2018 when my records began, and a few memorable ones before that.

My favourite reads have a 5-star rating. 4.5-star ratings come highly recommended and 4-star ratings should not be discounted. 2 – 3.5-star ratings don’t mean that the book didn’t serve a purpose at the time of reading, it’s just not a book I’d necessarily make a universal recommendation for. 0 – 1.5-star ratings are books I’d probably suggest avoiding entirely. 

My experience of book recommendations over the years, both giving and receiving, is that the words, characters, stories, and places that speak to one soul are not always an experience that’s shared, even when there’s certainty it will be. When a book does land with two people in the same way, there’s nothing else quite like it. If you decide to act on any of my recommendations then I’d love to know your experiences.
