about this page
- Books are ordered by recent reads. Newest at the top.
- Titles listed in more than one year indicates rereads or just long books.
- This icon 📖 indicates books I’m reading at the moment.
- Book titles written in the English mean that I read the book in the English language. Ambiguous titles will have the language between parenthesis, e.g. ‘1984, George Orwell (in English)’
- Numbers between parenthesis indicate the number of times I have started reading the title. For “Book_title (3)” indicates I’m reading it for the third time or have read it 3 times.
- Italics indicate I didn’t finish reading the book, so it has no rating stars consequently.
