Love You More: The Divine Surprise Of Adopting My Daughter
By Jeniffer Grant.
I was lucky to receive this book as part of the BookSneeze book review program, which I highly recommend.
I didn't love this book, nor did I hate it, I considered it very mediocre. I had to force myself not to stop reading half-way through, but I also set a high standard for books.
It is about a woman who adopts a daughter from Gautamela, and it is geared toward families who are thinking/are adopting a child, by telling you about the adoption process.
I had high hopes for this, as I am considering adopting a child after college, but I was disappointed with this book.
I would not recommend this to my friends, unless they are thinking of/are adopting a child.
I rate it 2/5 stars.

The Final Summit
The Final Summit
By Andy Andrews.
This book was okay, I liked the historical characters in it, as historical fiction and anything with historical characters fascinates me, it has an action-packed idea, historical characters& the main character, David Ponder, having just five chances to answer a question that will save humanity-
"What does humanity need to do, individually and collectively, to restore itself to the pathway toward successful civilization?"
I liked when David Ponder met Joan of Arc and Abraham Lincon, but it was a bit boring and tedious to read until about the middle, i'm sorry but it took me about a month to read because it was just so tedious I usually had to force myself to read it.
My apologies to Mr. Andrews.

ClockWork Angel By Cassandra Clare
I'm gonna start this book review off with, yes, I know this book isn't brand new, but it is amazing! I went to my local grocery store and they had a few copies, so I purchased one. I thought it would be okay, but it turned out to be one of the best books I have read in a while, which says a lot, I read tons and tons of books per day!
So I rate this book the highest, it is about the complicated and complex life of Theresa (Tessa) Gray, who goes across the Ocean to find her brother, and instead finds something unexpected... (I won't tell you what, since I don't want to be responsible for any spoilers) It is also about a few other people- James(Jem) Carstairs and Will Herondale are my favorites, they're exact polar opposites, but they remain so nice to each other!
This is a fantastic read, the hardcover is 20$ at my grocery store, but they probably have the paperback on Amazon.com for around 8$.
Happy Reading!

A Vision Of Lucy By Margaret Brownley
A Vision of Lucy
By Margaret Brownley
I recieved this book as part of the booksneeze book review program.I tried hard to like this book, but I just couldn't. I like the overall idea of a girl in Texas in 1882 who defied her fathers wishes and became a photographer. But I feel this book is a bit slow in everything happening, and I had to force myself to read the last 50 of the 303 pages.
Overall, I rate this book around 2 stars out of five.
If I knew someone who would be into this genre of book, then yes, I would recommend it to them.

Strike It Rich With Pocket Change

Book Review:
I got this book as part of the booksneeze program today, about noon, and finished it a few minutes ago(it's 4:15 right now)
This book is fascinating! It explains the value of coins with detailed descriptions and pictures.
Coin collecting has always been a hobby that me and my father do together, and I learned some valuable things from this book-
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes coins, or anyone who has ever wondered the value of coins, or just to anyone in general! I love this book! Great book to be my first book I have reviewed!

Coin collecting has always been a hobby that me and my father do together, and I learned some valuable things from this book-
- Some 1998 Pennies are worth more than 1906 Indian Pennies! Wow!
- Error coins are created when their is a broken die or the die is imperfect or the coin is accidentally stamped twice!
I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes coins, or anyone who has ever wondered the value of coins, or just to anyone in general! I love this book! Great book to be my first book I have reviewed!
