When you said at the top you didn't review much writing, I was worried, but I feel like you ended up with a healthy(?) mix of stuff in here anyway. Thanks for the newsletter! Always making me look forward to the first of the month :]
Would you consider saying what the stars mean? And the asterisks? I've read a few of your posts and I kinda assumed I would get it by now (my prior was a star being a strong recommendation, which doesn't seem to match the descriptions)
The about page has an explanation: https://recordcrash.substack.com/about#§whats-the-deal-with-the-stars-in-monthly-review-posts. It doesn't mean it's perfect or anything, but it means I do recommend that absolutely everyone reading the review checks it out. I have some numeric scores in older reviews, but it just felt like they were meaningless so I stopped doing them.
I just finished 'When I Win the World Ends' and it was so, so sad! Really good and I'd definitely recommend it to others, but so bleak that when I think about it actually makes me nauseous.
