At the Edge of the Universe by Shaun David Hutchinson.

I wish I could describe what this book actually is, because what it is is beautiful, and sad, and hopeful, and scary, and a million other things. But to say what it is, to lay it bare and say this is *this*, is to spoil the entire story, and it is not a story that should be spoiled. It is a journey that should be traveled, and understood, or not, by the reader.

I gave this full marks, and I highly recommend it.

Fish wielder by Jim Hardison
The book was a little boring at first but ended up being one of the most awesome books I've read

the last book i read was The Crown. it’s the fifth book in the selection series written by Kierra Cass. i can definetly say that this book did the first one published, justice. the first two books were marvelous. however i feel that the author ran out of inspiration during the third and fourth books. i was disappointed, yet felt like there was potential to turn the story around. my instincts were correct. the plot had more depth and the new characters introduced changed the way i thought about their whole world. i suggest starting from the beginning. :)

I read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, I'd give it a 3/5 not because I didn't like it, but because there was a lot of world building, a little too much at times. Also, the ending wasn't what I was hoping for exactly.

I recently finished reading the "Michael Vey series" by Richard Paul Evans the man is an genius. I can never go back to Rick Riordan. The main character Michael Vey is the perfect mc.

The last book I read was 13 reasons Why. I would give it a 3.5/5 . It was a decent read , it definitely got you interested in the book. The downfall was though , the structure of the book was kinda confusing.

I am currently reading through the Anne of Green Gables series, again. I have read them once before but it seems like when spring comes along it makes me think of older times, homesteading, housekeeping. It makes me want to read them again and again. I give the series 5 out of 5 stars.

I also just finished Yesterday by Summyann. I give this a 5 out of 5 as well. Very thrilling and romantic historical novel.

My last book here was God Versus the Idea of God by Thomas Richard Henry

I rated it 2/4. It was rather dry and hard to get into.

Last book was George Orwell. 1984. Fascinating but rather depressing. A lot of lengthy, self indulgent passages that would cause an insomniac to nod off. I know it’s a classic but one if the few books I have really struggled to finish.

I just finished reading The Elf Brief by Jordan David. I gave it 3out of 4 rating coz i believe it still deserved a recommendation despite the errors in it. It's a great story though.
