My books are rated of a scale from 1 star to 4 stars. There really isn't any special thing that I am ranking them by. It's basically whether I liked the book or not. And some of the books I am biased towards. I am a nurse, so the nursing related ones I enjoyed and ranked higher. Also, I really like James Patterson, so I read a lot of books by him, and I am a Christian, so I enjoyed reading those religious books as well. And I am a fan of the Office and I liked autobiographies, so those are books I just tend to enjoyed. But, feel free to steal some ideas from my list if you would like. I know I always like to find a good book.
My favorite book was probably Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. I really enjoyed that read, and it stayed with my a while. And I also enjoyed You, Happier by Daniel Amen, MD. It just had some really good tips on how to live a happier life and to just be happier, which I think everyone can use.
Happy New Year!!
