Books
Synced from Goodreads. The queue is roughly five times the size of the finished pile, which is the honest state of most people’s reading and worth showing rather than hiding.
Full marks
Six books out of everything I have finished. I am stingy with the fifth star on purpose; it is the only way the rating means anything.

Goodreads gives you three shelves and calls them read, reading, and want to read. These are the ones I made up, which are the only ones that say anything.
