Pat's Books Read, Reviewed, To Read: The truth about books, by Carl Sagan

My book blog created 2012 books I read & review. Separated my readings from mu writings on my other blog, Pat's Posts. . Eventually I may display my entire library here.(2024 April update still evolving collections, much to do) I have moved some reviews from the other blog to here. Design of this blog is a work in progress, in 2023 WTH my photos all disappeared. I have not yet replaced them. (Bizarre Google Blogger)...

MY OTHER BLOG

If you got here because I commented and you were directed to this blog, it is because Blogger will not show both blogs. So you can get to my Pat's Posts, by clicking this link..my miscellany, the first blog while this is just about books.

When you finish a book

Book collecting

Books and wine

Books, collections, wine cellar

Your books

I found this scrap clipping clearing out paperwork, there is no author, I wished I'd written it but I didn't and I don't know who did: "Your books are your autobiography; they map your history, reflect your tastes, hold emotional moments between covers."

My rating system 5 *****

I am using a 5 star rating with 5 being excellent, the best read and 1 marginal....some books may not merit 1 star. Life is too short to waste on uninteresting books...or maybe my reading time is too short, or maybe I'm just too short. But there it is 1 low to 5 high.

“I am simply a 'book drunkard.' Books have the same irresistible temptation for me that liquor has

Book Drunkard Quote: Âuthor LM Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
