About Me

My Photo
Melissa (Avid Reader)
I love books and I'll read just about anything. I tend to read a lot of literary fiction and classics, but I'm always looking for recommendations. I'm in my 20s and have been reading for as long as I can remember. My Rating System (I rate on my personal reaction to the book): ★ = one star ☆ = 1/2 star ★★★★★: A new favorite, a must-read ★★★★: Liked it a lot ★★★: Nothing special, but OK ★★: Not my cup of tea ★: Waste of time

Happy New Year


It's been a wonderful year.
I'd like to end it with some wonderful words from Neil Gaiman.
I hope those things for all of you.
