Ratings from before the blog (with no justification)

Sometimes I look through my Goodreads history and I just stop to wonder what the heck all these books are even doing here. I've said it before and I'll say it again: my memory does strange things. I actually started this blog because I have a very strange ability to completely forget books and movies that I've read or watched. Like almost completely. I can recall the gist of the story, but ask me names or details and it's a no go. I actually started the blog as a way to remember what I liked and why!

Today I decided to dig up some old ratings from before the blog, so pre-2014, just to see what I was into way back then. I learned some interesting things about myself. First of all (and this is still true), I am way more likely to write a review for a book I didn't like. Hence, why there are fewer books on this list as the rating drops. Second, I read some strange books back in the day. For the sake of this post I tried to find books that were at least somewhat well known though. Third, it seems I did not like vampires.

Just in case you want to check any of these out, I'm linking to each book's Goodreads page, but I will provide no further explanation for my ratings. Mostly because I don't remember...
