My Book List:
I used to keep a book review site but it was impossible to keep up with. Instead, I shut that site down and created a simplified list here with many of the books I've read and my "star rating" for each (keep in mind this is based on my own personal taste, if you don't agree, that's fine!). The books are listed in order by author...and there are A LOT of them! Enjoy...
Star Rating Key:
Zero Stars="I wasted my time reading this"
One Star="ugh"
Two Stars="eh, it was okay"
Three Stars="that was good"
Four Stars="yay, that was great"
Five Star="fabulous! Among my favorite reads"
