Fast to add books (0 more)
So easy!
Holy pickles! I can not say enough about this app! I have been looking for a way to better categorize my books for years. I recently rearranged my loving room (where all my books live) and I needed to take all my books from the shelves to move the book cases I have. It was quite a process but I figured, since all the books needed to come off the shelves anyway, I might as well put them away in a much more organized fashion.

 Luckily, I was able to find this wonderful app. It was SO easy to use! All I needed to do was scan the ISBN on my books and it loaded them onto my virtual bookshelves. It must pull the information from the internet somewhere because when you add a new book, it provides so much information for you (if it is part of a series, who published it, a description, a picture of the cover, how many pages). It also allows you to edit the books on your shelves. You can give a rating, note if you read the book, indicate when you started and finished the book, and you can note if you loaned the book to a friend! The best part is that you can organize your books in SO many different ways (author’s last name, unread books first, title, series, genre, publication date, date added, etc).

This app is such a life saver! It took me just over an hour to scan all 488 books I own and mark them read. It made the process of putting them all back on the shelves so much faster because it was all listed in the order that I wanted. Also, it provided a picture of the cover of the book so I knew what I was looking for when trying to find them to put back on the shelf. I love that it tells you if you have already entered the book when you scan one in… that way you don’t make the mistake of buying extra copies of books, unless you intend to.

My go-to for ebooks!
This is an app I depend on daily. I can find everything from hidden gems, free books and classics to wildly popular current titles and even self-published books. Most titles that I want to find are available, sometimes even before the physical copy can be found nearby! Add in that I can get the audio book for a greatly reduced price through Audible if I buy the book via Kindle first, and I'm totally sold on this app. I also greatly appreciate that the books sync across devices, which makes it a heck of a lot easier to keep up with the material I'm reading.

Basically, there's nothing not to love about this app!

Have you ever picked up a book, thought it was going to be mediocre and realized that it brought out the passion in you? I have read a few books that have truly spoken to me, Parnassus on Wheels is one of those books.

I fell in love with the characters. Helen wanted an adventure and she definitely got it. I wish that this was my life. I would love to take an adventure with a man that is passionate about books. There is nothing better than sharing a passion with someone. I know that I'm one of those people who wants to share my latest read with the next person.

This book makes you want to find your next passion. I know my new dream is to own a bookmobile and travel the world selling books.

Ultimately, this book earns 5 golden stars. I will definitely be rereading this.

I feel like I'm disliking books more often then I like them. It is a great premise, but it just really dragged for me. I didn't care about a single character, and those I did care about weren't followed nearly enough. I can't honestly say that I enjoyed this book. It was a slog. It wasn't bad, but it really was not good.

I read this book when I was about 12 and I absolutely loved it. As an avid reader who loves fantasy stories, what gets better than a tale about a girl who can read characters out of their books?! The book is imaginative and creative. I fell in love with the main character quickly and loved the complexities of the story.
