find me on storygraph & pagepact
i'm more picky when rating fictional books where i start with a 3 star while non-fiction books start with a 4.75 star (and the rating goes down accordingly).
Why don't you give 5-stars to non-fiction books?
- I don't want my storygraph's 5-star reads to only contain non-fiction books.
- It has to be really life changing for it to deserve that 5-stars.
Where can i find your favourite books?
- Favourite books of all time will be displayed on storygraph's 'favourite shelf'.
- Books that left me with some sort of emotion or feeling or lesson after completing it are tagged as 'crumbful'
Can we be friends?
Yeah, just send a friend request. I don't do followers. I'm kaypoh, so I want to see what you're reading too.
