The blog simply seemed like a fun thing to do back in 2007. Who would have imagined I&#8217;d keep it alive for so long? And it&#8217;s awesome to have so much reading history.

But it occurred to me then that I&#8217;d like to try something different, so this year I&#8217;ve been keeping my list in chronological order.

An A-grade book is one that I really liked, would consider keeping on my shelves, and would probably recommend to others. A B-grade book is one that I don&#8217;t want to keep and probably would not recommend, but that I liked enough not to consider it a waste of my time. A C-grade book is borderline unreadable. Anything below C is a fail.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It absolutely boggles my mind that I have almost 17 years of my reading history listed on this blog.
