My Book List

In order from my very favorite to not so much
5  Star Rating - Top of the Line - Highly RecommendedLoved it! One of those books I couldn't get out of my head when it was over.
4  Star Rating - Well Done - Would Use AgainPretty darn good! I really liked it, but it was lacking just a little something to push it to 5 stars.
Eh, it was OK. I didn't love it, but didn't hate it. Strictly average.
2  Star Rating - Below Expectations - Try at Own RiskKinda dumb. Probably wouldn't have read it if I knew, but oh well since I did.
Don't even waste your time.

The Bronze Horseman4  Star Rating - Well Done - Would Use AgainThe Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
The Faerie Ring4  Star Rating - Well Done - Would Use AgainThe Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton



I am reviewing these books for no other reason other than I love to read.


As you can probably tell I like to read YA fantasy fiction. I try books that are supposed to be for grown ups like me, and just can't seem to get into them. So sorry if you like "old people books," but you won't find many reviews about them on here. Suggestions are always welcome!!!

  2. I have! Although I didn't know it was her. (I just googled her) I've heard that Princess Academy is awesome and it has been on my list for a while. Thanks for the recommendation!
