Hello my fellow book lovers, I am making this blog for you to find more books to read, and to know if you want to read them before you even start reading them. I do not give away anything from the books I only give my opinion on them. I will be grading these books on a scale from 1-10. One meaning I did not like it one bit. Ten meaning I loved every word.
