About My Library
I read quite a wide variety.

When rating a book, I do use half and quarter stars, as I like to "rank" books in comparison to each other. As a general rule, though:

2 stars = I didn't like it
3 stars = it was o.k.
3.5 stars = it was good/I liked it
4 stars = I really liked it

I do rank things, though, so you might also see 3.25, 3.75, 4.25 stars, etc.
About Me

I'm a librarian in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have three cats and I volunteer with rescue cats.

My current three cats are: Kells (~13 years old), Malaina (Lainey, 12 years old), and newly adopted Gretel (9 years).

RIP Angel (1999 - Oct 2015)

RIP Io (Feb 2003 - July 2023)
