• Writing Reviews – My Rating System

  

  The longer I’ve been writing book reviews, the more confused I get with my own rating system. Rating are hard. I really struggle with them. Since I use Goodreads a lot (shameless plug- add me as a friend), I wanted to keep things consistent and rate every book out of 5 stars. However, with so…

  Overall: 3.5/5 StarsCharacters: 4/5Setting: 4/5Writing: 3/5Plot and Themes: 3/5Awesomeness Factor: 3/5Review in a Nutshell: Roar is a fun fantasy, with plenty of romance and a unique world. However, if you’re only a mild fantasy fan with a big TBR, I would understand skipping this one in favor of others. “Perhaps death is all that waits for me across the great waters, but better…

• Top 8 August 2019 Book Releases

  

  Happy August!!! August is always bittersweet for me. The weather is so nice and the ocean beaches by me are finally warm enough for me to willingly swim in them… but it also means summer is ending and school will be starting back up again, which is much less fun. Luckily, there are plenty of…
