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

I would have seen this! :) (It reminds me of a blogger that no longer blogs and have lost track of. I hope she is well...)

Happy Wednesday!

Yes, lucky you. I've only gone inside, I bet Easter was beautiful there!
