Book Lists


I often read far more books than I have time to review and I am also careful not to write reviews of anything by one of my professors. I also hate to review books that I thought were downright terrible. Or ones that everyone has read before. But just so my readers know what I have been reading lately (meaning not just dystopian sci-fi) here is my list from this summer. This list does include the books I have reviewed as well. Due to storytime, there are probably a lot of other picture books I have read, but simply cannot remember them all. As per reader request, the books that I wasn't so hot on are starred. Ones that I absolutely can't stop thinking about have a chili pepper beside them.

I'm curious which of these were "downright terrible." You should asterisk them so we know what to avoid!
