BlurryBug | 357 comments By the looks of things I wont have access to a lot of variety
so trying to chose of what I have.
lowest:
my own bookshelf The Jane Austen Book Club 3.00
I tried to read this 4 times so let's see. if I cant get through it this week it will go in the donation bin once my local library opens back up.
on scribd She Who Dares: Ten Trailblazing Society Women 3.00
barely anyone has rated this book so guessing that is why it is so low.

Highest:
my book shelf: Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World 4,50
on scribd: Collateral Damage 4.47


It might change as my library is working on a better app for ebooks.

Have your area adapted Libby yet? I was surprised when I could get onto that here in lil ol' Norway. But it seemed they updated that after a couple of days of being shut.

Lizzy Seitz (cookinggurl43) | 53 comments So since I can't get out of my house because of quarentine/social distancing, I went with the highest/lowest I could get on my library app.

Highest Rated: Fall and Rise The Story of 9/11 by Mitchell Zuckoff with a 4.73 but rereading over the summary I'm not sure if this is something I'll be able to get through right now so I looked for a few others and so these are tentative
Obsidio (The Illuminae Files, #3) by Amie Kaufman with a 4.66 since I own the audiobook of this
House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City, #1) by Sarah J. Maas with a 4.5 because I own the physical copy of this book.

Lowest Rated: Class by Cecily von Ziegesar with a 2.53 rating

I'm also working on the OWLs readathon during this month so I'll have to see what works for other prompts during the week too!

Lowest rated book: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Twilight (Twilight, #1) by Stephenie Meyer

Well Im Gonna do The Owned Book part This month because I need to finish my reread Shadow and Bone which was a buddy read last month and I was to The Archived finally after all these years add is part of another Buddy Read.

I did check on my Owned Goodreads TBR list what my highest and lowest books were and they were some childhood Shelby Woo Books Fire Proof (This is not the specific ones but I thought I'd link one for those who never seen the show) and I may give them a read but Im not sure if im in the mood and my reading has been dismel. So im trying to read anything that catches my interest add trying not to force myself!

Happy Reading Everyone!

kim v (joseygirl) | 7 comments Hi! For my highest rated book I’ll be reading the Return of the King by Tolkien which has a 4.53 rating and for my lowest I’ll be reading the Boy at the Keyhole by Stephen Giles at 3.13. I just read a picture book by Bobbi M. Wright called the Princess and the Whale which was probably the lowest technically since nobody before me had rated it.
