Yeah, so I am almost never great about jumping on to BookTok or Bookstagram content trends, and making this took SO much longer than I thought it would!

That said, I'm glad I did it! I know I've said before I can sometimes be a harsh reviewer, and this forced me to take a good look at which titles I treasure the most. (I'm so very glad I returned to "The Personal Librarian" — it is so well done and led me to learn so much.) It also helped me parse out which books I think of as technical literary greats and purely personal comfort reads. If I really wanted to spend several more hours fleshing this out, the 4-star slide would have been CROWDED.

Tagged here are just my 6-star picks (which most of you are already aware of, I think), so tell me in the poll which of those four you've either enjoyed already or are maybe looking forward to checking out! Clearly, I recommend them all.
