    As much as I love the message of this and really value Kimmerer’s perspective and knowledge, I do feel like this needed to be either way more in depth or more of a shorter essay format. Admittedly I have a good amount of experience with the ecology side already since I studied it college so maybe that’s why it’s feeling a little surface level? But I’m glad that it exists even though I wish there was more to it

    The author has done such a good job of having me hooked from the beginning. I am really intrigued about the characters, i like the placing. June is so funny. One of these “i’m gonna ignore my bedtime” books😭

  • What do you use book stats for?

    My social media is full of Spotify Wrapped and Duolingo Wrapped, and there is chatter about Pagebound end-of-the-year statistics, and it made me think of why reading stats matter (to me). I mean, it's cool to know how many pages/books I read, but beyond that, I ask myself what I really want from my reading statistics, or how they might help, or what would be the most interesting to know. Do you have anything that you specifically want to see when you get "wrapped" numbers?

    One of the things I can think of is seeing how diversely I read. I have a sense that I rad a "lot" of queer books this year, but no sense of what "a lot" is compared to all my reading. Or how diverse the authors are (in terms of background, or country, or language). I also like to see how many genres I ventured into, and what genres I might be missing out on.

    Any thoughts? What do stats mean to you?
