ALL THE BOOKS I READ IN 2019 RANKED

This post is self-explanatory! I actually read 175 books this year, but somehow 5 of them didn't end up on this list and I am way too lazy to go find out which ones. (Actually, it's probably because I don't include rereads in these rankings because otherwise my rereads would end up dominating every single year. I also don't include unrated books, usually children's classics.) I know this isn't very pretty, but I was also too lazy to insert book covers for all of these. Another side note: I am aware that some of these rankings will not line up with corresponding ratings (some five star books are ranked lower than some four star books, etc.), but I tend to evaluate books differently right after I finish them (when I give the rating) and when I am later reflecting and comparing them to other books (this is especially the case with classics). Anyway, here are the bests and worsts of 2019.
