No stars.
Feelings.

A cozy romance and a devastating literary epic both get 4.1. One made you smile. One broke you open. Your shelf shouldn't treat them the same.

Loved. Liked. Couldn't finish. That's how you actually talk about books.

Reading isn't a sport.

The best book you'll read this year might take you three months. You might reread something instead of starting something new. You might go weeks without reading. None of that means you're failing.

Spine exists for people who care about what they read, not how much.
