Book scores people have contributed are below. (What are IP Scores?) Books are listed in order from least "relationshippy" to most. Scores for my original article are the ones listed as 'aburt'; others were contributed later by readers. Genres are given as how the reader thought best suited the story itself, not based on where it would be shelved.

Enter your own scores here. (Just takes a minute or two a book.)

If you see anything suspicious in the data, please contact aburt.
