Is this a list of books you have read thus far this year?

This is amusing. I was asking because I didn't know what the rules were, and assumed that you did!

I haven't discussed it with the other mod, but for myself, while I'd prefer reviews (even one-liners is better than nothing) rather than just a bunch of lists, I'm not going to ban lists.

I didn't mention it because I didn't see it as a problem. I wasn't chiding you, just answering the commenter's question. Lists like yours and the previous one aren't (at this point; things may change if they become overwhelming) disallowed, but they're also not the purpose of the community.

Thank you for clarifying.

Is there a length limit on reviews? There are a few I've written over the years that might be of interest to the community.

No limit. :) Though I think for older reviews, maybe just linking them in your intro post would be the best idea.
