Goal = 5,000 Pages

Progress = 3,011 of 5,000 (60.2%)

Book 1 of 15


The Sky Weaver

Finished reading January 4, 2020.

I give this book a 5 out of 5. I don't want this series to be over!! Every single book in the series was amazing and the characters were great!! The Sky Weaver was just as good as Book 1, if not better!! I would recommend this series to anyone and everyone and can't wait to see what the author comes out with next!!

Book 2 of 15


The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Finished reading January 30, 2020.

I give this book a 4.5 out of 5. I actually enjoyed this book!! I only read it, really, because it is on this "Top 100" scratch off poster I received for Christmas. Unfortunately, I probably won't end up reading any of the sequels because I've got so many other books I want to read. I will say, this was a lot better than the movie though.

Book 3 of 15


Red Harvest

Finished reading March 13, 2020.

I'll give this book a solid 3.5 out of 5. It mixed together two of my favorite themes, Star Wars and Zombies. It was kind of more zombie than Star Wars and I think that's why I only gave it a 3.5. If you would have mixed in vampires as well, I probably would have given it a 5 out of 5.

Book 4 of 15


Lord of the Flies

Finished reading April 6, 2020.

Book #2 finished from my Top 100 Scratch Off Poster!! Unfortunately, I'll only being giving this book a 3 out of 5. It was a tough book to get through and I think that's why it took me so long to get through. It was well written, I just couldn't get into it as much as I was hoping. Reminded me a lot of the TV show Lost.

Book 5 of 15


The Keeper

Finished reading April 12, 2020

Even better than the first!! I think I liked it a lot more because it had different aspects of Greek Mythology in it (changed up a little bit of course). It also reminding me a lot of Harry Potter in some aspects. I'm excited there's more to this series!!

Book 6 of 15


Mrs. Dalloway

Finished reading April 23, 2020

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to say this is the worst book I've read. I know it was written back in 1925 but I really did not like it. The grammar was horrible, punctuation was wrong, and some of the spelling was incorrect. I didn't like how it was one big chapter and I definitely didn't like how some paragraphs were whole pages long. I really have no idea what the book was about :/ I would have quit after the first few pages if it wasn't for this book being on my Top 100 Scratch Off Poster.

Book 7 of 15


Fatal Alliance

Finished reading May 19, 2020

Another fantastic Star Wars book!! I absolutely loved this one!! I loved the characters as well as the plot. There's a lot of different aspects of Star Wars from these books than what I thought of just from the movies. It's not just Republic/Empire, Jedi/Sith. There's also iRobot like plots (this book) and zombie plots (last book). It's cool what they've done with Star Wars.

Book 8 or 15


The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Loved this book!! I still think that the Hunger Games series is better than this one but this book was great!! Only thing I would have liked to see different was the ending.

Book 9 of 15


Black Obsidian

Started reading this book because it was free. Not really my kind of book but it was decent.
