Hello,

***Update 2/5/2020 -- I'm still reviewing! But ever so slowly. I apologize for the delay in your reviews, everyone! I will be catching up on the requests I have pending as soon as possible and in the order I was approved to review them. Thank you so much for your patience!***

I'm Dorothy. I'm thirty-one years old. I live in northern New Jersey and read avidly. I work a 40-50 hour week and spend most of my free time with a book in hand. I'm also currently attending college, working towards a Bachelors degree in Chemistry and a Masters degree in Education. My favorite genre is dystopian, but I'm open to reading any genre, as I have a wide range of tastes. Some of my favorites include the Harry Potter series, the Hunger Games trilogy, and the Game of Thrones series. I also love classics like "Catcher in the Rye" and "To Kill a Mockingbird".

I would love the opportunity to read your new material and write helpful and constructive reviews, if given the opportunity. I am currently approved for several requests, but I like to read the books in the order I was approved to read them, and I don't download them until I am ready to read them. I think this is fairest way to read and review!

Thank you!

Mind of the Phoenix

A fantastic fantasy adventure

Mind of the Phoenix was a very intriguing read. There are so many things about this story that I loved. The main character, Moira, is snarky with quick wit. Right from the start she is all about self-preservation, even after resigning herself to her fate, and I found that trait ...
