The “got” section is supposed to be a wink towards those who read it and would therefore get it, a mood or feeling given by the book, or something like that. Posting 10 pictures that happened or describe the book defeats the purpose and shows the creator doesn’t understand the spirit of the exercise

I like the partly literal cluttered ones too, not just the humorous. I like to check these out for rec’s, as they feel sort of like the most true-to-experience book reviews imaginable. So jokes or no, all additional content if it springs to mind (as integral to the experience, or as vividly memorable) concerning what you just read is great and informative, to me. I love them all.
