About my Reviews
I’d been reviewing books on Amazon and now on Goodreads for quite a few years now. This is a compilation of those older reviews and new ones as I read or re-read them.

You will find that most of the books have one thing in common: They are happy and they feature women. Sad things may happen, but by the end, you will not be depressed. Unless you’re weird.
