Emmmmmmm

These are entirely subjective reviews of books from my list. I wanted to write reviews after finishing them but had nowhere to post, so I'm putting them here. My ratings tend to be high because if I didn't like a book, I wouldn't write a long review.

My Personal Reading List

Purely subjective, based entirely on my personal tastes. I made this reading list mostly as a keepsake. Feel free to comment, but whether I reply depends on my mood. Mostly, I'm just too lazy.

A Little Bookworm Who Loves to Read

After many years of reading, I’d like to share some of my favorite gems and a few new books with everyone. If you like them, give them a click. A rose given is a rose in hand. (I’ll add or remove books from time to time.)

A Bookworm’s Smorgasbord

A laid-back list maker who updates whenever the mood strikes. I'll gradually add new books and revise my comments on existing ones. Feel free to drop by often. I'm an older reader with eclectic tastes. I read male- and female-oriented fiction, cultivation, fantasy, historical romance, magic, family intrigue, sci-fi, farming stories, anime-inspired fiction... pretty much anything. Rather than following new books as they come out, I prefer the satisfaction of reading a whole story in one go. So

My Reading List

I've paid for and read every book on this list, so I'm qualified to review them. My ratings reflect my personal taste, so they'll differ a bit from those of other readers. Take them as a guide, and I especially recommend books rated 3.5 or higher. I've also been reading for over a decade. My main goal this time is to put together a collection, so there will be plenty of books from more than ten years ago. If you don't like them, there's no need to be rude. Let's get along. Here's my rating scale

My Private Library

An old reader’s personal library, full of books I think are good, in all kinds of genres. Some are books I read a long time ago. Please don’t flame me if you don’t like them. I’m not taking recommendations, and please don’t ask me to recommend books in the comments. (P.S. I only add books I’ve finished.)
