The Book Buff


Ever wanted a book review from a NORMAL person? Well, here you go, I'm a bookworm just like you giving my 2 cents. I don't have a masters degree in Literature (maybe someday), just a brain. Here, you will find some old, some new, and some in between. Enjoy!

My Rating System


At the end of every review, I will rate the book according to the system that I have found myself rating books by for years...is the book worth spending any money on? The following categorizations are ordered from best to worst:



1. Pay full price guilt free

2. Use a coupon at Borders

3. Find a used book store

4. Borrow from a friend

5. Don't even bother

Frugal Living

Here is a wonderful blog that gives lots money saving tips and couponing hints.  Everyone is pinching pennies right now and this is a wonderful resource!  It's very easy to navigate and covers a lot of material- if you have a few minutes you should check it out!
