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. I hope you guys enjoy and love my reviews, be sure to let your other book lover friends know about my blog too! Thank you! Feel free to let me know your thoughts on the books I review, and I am always up for new suggestions. I will most likely be posting once a week at most!
