Hampton Roads Book Sale!

In my free time, I volunteer at Reach, a non-profit that provides read-aloud programs and book donations to homeless and at-risk children in the Hampton Roads area. Reach is hosting a book sale this Saturday. If you happen to live in the area, stop by and fill a bag for $10!

You can learn more about Reach and its programs to support child literacy at www.reachreads.org

Ratings and Reviews

I rate books on a scale of 1-5 stars as follows:

5 Stars: one of my all-time favorite books. I will likely purchase multiple copies, give them to all my friends and extended family members, and rant and rave about this book ad nauseum. I try to give very few 5 star ratings.

4 Stars: an excellent and entertaining read. I will keep a copy on my bookshelf, but wouldn't be reluctant to lend it out. I'll recommend these books frequently, but perhaps not as aggressively.

3 Stars: a good story or educational book, but nothing that grabs me in a lasting way. Or, an enjoyable book that I feel is significantly weakened in some aspect: plot holes, silly characters, poor logic, etc.

2 Stars: A book that I struggled to finish or was reluctant to pick up off of my bookshelf. A story that left me feeling unsatisfied with its conclusion.

1 Star: A book that I couldn't finish or really disliked upon completion.

Have you reviewed the same books I have? Please email me a link to your review and I'll append it to my post. Particularly if your opinion differs!
