I have always loved books.

Book reviews….well… that’s a different story.

Personally, when looking for a new book to read I don’t want to wade through a lengthy, vaguely pompous review that tells me at least half of the things that will happen in the book.

I want short.

I want concise.

I want no spoilers.

I want to turn to a friend whose judgement I trust and ask, “Hey, got any good book recommendations?”

These mini-reviews are just that. I will tell if I’d recommend it to you with or without caveats. I will do my best avoid long pretentious words and phrases (but as per previous sentence I don’t always succeed). And they will always avoid spoilers.

Follow the links below to search the shelves of previously read books. Find a new book to read, tell me what you thought of those you have also read or leave a comment below with your own recommendations. I’m always looking for new books and, since you are here, Behind The Willows, I’m sure your judgment in such matters is excellent!
