Things I struggled with:
Where to put helper methods - in the model vs. in the view helpers. I do think this project helped me get a better handle on this, but it's still something I don't get intuitively. The code is easier for me to write if things are kept in the view ...

Another thing I struggled with was test. This test in particular was tricky:

test "Upvoting a book adds 1 to its upvotes" do
assert_difference("Book.find(@book.id).upvotes", 1) do
patch :upvote, { id: @book.id }
end
end

I would have liked it to look like this:
test "Upvoting a book adds 1 to its upvotes" do
assert_difference("@book.upvotes", 1) do
patch :upvote, { id: @book.id }
end
end

But that didn't work and I don't understand why and I would like to.

More practice with Foundation I'm sure is in order! I do see how it makes the CSS we write cleaner and more manageable.

I am proud of:
Deploying my site, because that's still quite a few steps with things to go wrong and lots of scary output, so hooray for pushing through that and reading the terminal output and googling stuff. I did not seed my database in production because I didn't want to deal with that (sorry). I am also proud of the tests I wrote for the controllers - especially the index actions. The ordering stuff is pretty slick.
