I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked it

Cult classics, guilty pleasures, popcorn reads, addictive stories in dire need of an editor, just some good old fun — these are books with an average enjoyment rating that is at least 0.5 stars higher than the average quality rating. This is a purely objective criterion and doesn’t necessarily reflect my personal opinion on quality or enjoyment of these books. Suggestions welcome! Please also inform me when I messed up the math/the ratings changed, that’s bound to happen sooner or later.

Thank you! The idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while, and I finally came up with enough books to add to make it worth it 🥰

yesss 🙌 even though I kind of hate the phrase 🫣🤭 why are we feeling guilty about experiencing joy. I certainly don’t. for me it’s more of a “proud of the fact that this sucks pleasure” 🙂‍↕️

okay, you're right about that. we definitely shouldnt feel guilty reading what brings us joy, even if it's not fine dining literature 🙂‍↕️

absolutely true! there's nothing wrong with enjoying an imperfect book 😌 we need to coin a better term for it!
