Every book I read last year (and data analysis) 📚
All of the books that I read last year... collated into a delightful spreadsheet and analysed to my heart's content! Here is the list of books that I read in 2023, a year of 'audio book shuffle' reads from the library. Low risk/high reward strategy that meant I read 35 books, quite a hearty number for me. Scoring all of the books 0 to 5 stars, and listing them in order for easy pickings for sharing the best books I've read!
Top books were:
Remarkably Bright Creatures - (I dare you to not read the blurb and just jump in for a blind read)
Strip - (immersive characters to sympathise with, worlds away, took me worlds away)
The Name of The Wind - (my ultimate comfort read, possibly my religion)
Demon Copperhead - (I normally audiobook FAST, at 1.25x speed, but this book I read as slow as possible, hoping it wouldn't end)
Also I've got to own up to having several (7 to be exact) ZERO scorers. This meant that they were 'did not finish' books (DNF's). No reflection on how bad the books were.
Reading goals for my future reading include reading more books with older main characters (got to love a retirement storyline) and to cull some of the 'low' scorers into the DNF pile and create a larger gap in the histogram!

I've had invisalign for a year now! Here's how it's been going. My bite continued to not cooperate. I had a surprise painful tray. A beautiful sampling of Invisalign ASMR to be had. My IPR finally began to show results as the crowding is noticeably calmed down. One issue I'd like improved is the alignment of my top and bottom centre lines. I'm not sure if it's possibly.

    What is the importance, if any, of having one piece of thread for the length of an entire seam - as in a pant leg? I find it difficult to “wrangle” a long length of thread. It always gets tangled or makes an unwanted knot. Is it okay to sew an entire seam length with smaller pieces of thread or does it have to be one?

    • @EmmaSandy

      Smaller lengths sounds good to me! Easier to make it neat and probably save time overall with less untangling knots 🪢 😄

I live in an apartment with baseboards and I will absolutely want my curtains back to their proper full length for one day when I have my own home, so I didn't want anything permanent that would require me to re-purchase down the line.

    Very great explanation. Very bad blot itself though 😅 A few recommendations. Some, you may already be doing: 1. BSA Protein Concentration Assay for all samples simultaneously prior to running them on a western. 2. Never run more than 15 ug of Protein per lane. If this is below your threshold of detection, switch to a commercial blocking buffer such as SuperBlock from Invitrogen in TBS-T. That should help with sensitivity. The reason that 15 ug should be the upper limit is because you have to be within the linear range of protein concentration for an antibody to be used for relative quantification. For a protein like GAPDH, this linear limit in many cells lines is 5 ug. So in addition, I would also use a different HSKG like beta actin or vinculin. 3. Instead of a housekeeping gene, you can also go with a total protein stain. You used Ponceau, but depending on the company you buy it from, it's really hit or miss. And if you make your own Ponceau as I used to, that's even less consistent between lots. Some people just forgo housekeeping genes all together and only go with the total protein stain, but it's also possible to use 2-3 housekeeping genes on the same blot so that you can take the best 2 of 3. If you have a problem with 2 of them, then you're either modifying expression of 2 of them OR your sample concentration was measured accurately. 4. if you heat your samples, don't go over 10 mins at 95C. Can cause hydrolysis of your protein and that can also effect how it shows up on the blot and potentially account for why your GAPDH isn't even. Should help you get more consistent results and thus graduate faster. Good luck!
