Books in 2025

For 2025, I wanted to fill in the gaps to read books from every year since 1776. Thus there are a lot of books from random years, especially in the 1800s. I also wanted to cover at least 1000 books. A lot of these were picture books read to children. Since I am now giving star rankings for all books, the "good books" sections are not super relevant anymore. The 9 and 10 star rankings are probably a better indicator. Most of the top tags have to do with childrens books also.

(As a side note, I had to add backoff to the blogger script because I was hitting the blogger API limit with so many pages of results for the year.)
