I'm sharing this from Robin Hobb's profile page, because I simply love it, and it brought a smile to my face:
"I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. What? I liked it. I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. A 3 star means that I've ignored fr ...more

Basia and 522 other people liked Briana's review of Children of Virtue and Vengeance (Legacy of Orïsha, #2): "Edited 2/14/2023: I decided to lower this to one star. I didn't like this and I won't be returning to this series. I am so disappointed by this book—so much so that it breaks my heart. I am emotionally spent so I want to keep this as short as possible" Read more of this review »

Basia’s Quotes

“Now it is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling anyway.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again
