This is Sassy’s (@3phibotticelli) book review column. She and her momma love to read so check back often for pawsome book reviews!
This is Sassy’s rating system for the books she reviews:
Five paws: A must-read. So good that all my paws are waving.
So good that I borrowed a paw from Momma, who types for me, plus added all four of mine.
Four paws: A great read. Enjoy it in the tub.
Three paws: Eh. To read or not to read, if you have extra time, then read it.
Two paws: Likely skip it. Drags on, characters are silly, or just not a good read.
One paw: Seriously, skip it.
