Introduction
I have always loved to read, and I also love giving book recommendations. On this page, I share every book review I’ve published, both positive and negative. On this page, you will find my ranking system, a disclaimer, and a table where you can sort books by category and rating.
You can also find me on Goodreads.
Ranking
5 stars- this is a fantastic book; I highly recommend it
4 stars- this was a good book; though there are some flaws, I still am comfortable recommending it
3 stars- this was a good book, but there were some problems with it; I think some people might enjoy it, but it wasn’t my cup of tea
2 stars- this book is bad and I wouldn’t recommend it, but there is something ok enough about it to keep me from ranking it as a one
1 star- this book is horrible; do not waste your time reading it
Disclaimer
In addition to reviewing books I pick out on my own, I am also part of a few blogger book review programs. This means that I receive a book for free in exchange for my review. Regardless of how I obtained my books, I make sure to give an honest review from a Catholic perspective.
I also include affiliate links in every book review if possible. What this means is that if you click the link and purchase the book, I will receive a tiny commission at no additional cost to you.
