Introduction

Hi there!

I'm Karissa, as you may have gathered. I'm an average joe, freshman in college who just wants to get by as easily as possible.  Since I've been so interested in reading lately, I figured I would create a blog where I review the books I read. They may be books for little kids, they may be ridiculously difficult reads that someone like me shouldn't dream of reading. It's whatever I pull off my bookshelf or find at the library.

Here's the idea: I read a book. When I finish, I post the cover, my own review and a rating out of 5 stars. The ratings go like this:
5 Stars - This book has completely enraptured my soul, and could do no wrong.
4 Stars - While this book was interesting and kept me reading, it did not take over my life in the way a 5 star book would.
3 Stars - While some parts are interesting, nothing really kept me going back to the book.
2 Stars - This book was very difficult for me to keep reading. While something might interest me, it's not enough to make me want to read.
1 Star - Nothing kept me interested in the book. It is stale, stagnant, and the fact that I finished it is a miracle.

 
I will gladly take any suggestions you have! On top of that, if you're interested in finding books and I don't post one you're interested in, you can look at my pinterest HERE or my GoodReads shelves HERE. There are TONS of books in both spots, so if you don't know what to read, check those out!

Cuddle up by the fireplace, put on some cozy socks, get a nice cup of hot chocolate, and enjoy your stay!
