Reading is one of my main passions in life. Years ago I attempted to keep up a book review site but it was way too complicated and time consuming to do so I gave that up in favor of a simple book list. What I have here is a list of books I’ve read* with a star rating. This is my opinion of the books only, if you disagree that’s totally fine! Books are listed in alphabetical order by author.
Star Rating Key:
Five Stars: “Fabulous! Among my favorite reads!”
Four Stars: “Yay, that was great!”
Three Stars: “That was good.”
Two Stars: “Eh, is was okay…”
One Star: “Ugh.”
Zero Star: “I wasted my time reading this/I couldn’t finish this because it was so bad.”
