Who

One reader, one log, no committee. Every book I have finished since 2010 is here, graded the week I finished it and never revised to be nice. No sponsored placements, no affiliate links, no advance copies traded for kindness.

How a grade works

One grade per book, given the week I finish it. The scale runs A+ to D. The A list is the recommendation; everything else is in the log because the log is honest.

When two books tie for the best of a year, the one I read fastest wins, because pages a day is the closest thing I have to a measure of a book I could not put down.

Inkwool

Inkwool is the reading app I built, and it is what I read on. Notes unlock as you reach them, so nobody spoils page 300 on page 12. The Shelf is the grade. Inkwool is the margin.
