Handshake emoji, I too have read So Many things recently and managed to talk about only, like, two of them. :,)

Ok, [personal profile] sovay beat me to it - just one post where you list all the books, but only leave comments on the ones that really left an impression.

And only bother with details if you enjoyed the book so it’s a rec.
Just something brief if you disliked it e.g. didn’t finish, etc.

Whatever you find interesting! Write the definite thoughts on whatever books you have definite thoughts on, in individual posts or a round-up depending on length (and your energy -- maybe you just want to write up one at a time and get responses, maybe it's easier to do it all in one go). If you've got nothing to say about a book, don't bother with it, life is short.

I suggest you do anything that does not cause you stress just thinking about it :)

You could write a summary post with a short bit about the one's you don't have definite thoughts on, and a longer post or posts for the ones that you do want to say more about?

I like looking at reviews both positive and negative so I'll read whatever you feel up to posting

Write just about the ones you enjoyed the most?
