I just spent the week visiting with a lovely friend. We talked a lot about books and cooking and drank an unreasonable amount of coffee. She mentioned that her husband’s grandmother kept track of every book she had ever read. And gave it a rating. How brilliant.

I currently have 600 books in my home. Give or take. I know I will never be able to go back and remember every single book I have ever read (there must be thousands), but I’m going to start keeping track now!
