Real Name: Nicole Kettlesmith
About My Library: Over hundreds of books in various genres. My favorites include auto/biographies, classic lit., graphic novels, poetry, satire, self-help and young adult. I love romance and enjoy a little bit of fantasy. If it's a book club then you can probably get me into sci-fi or horror but otherwise I prefer those via the big screen.
About Me: Returning to LibraryThing for my 2025 annual reading goal! '23-'24 on StoryGraph as Ladypaperback.
I generally rate books with the following in mind:
1 Star - Left unfinished/better known as a did not finish (DNF) and cannot recommend
2 Stars - Completed although didn't hold my attention throughout/poorly written/poorly edited
3 Stars - Might be slow-paced although well-edited/somewhat interesting/basically average/could recommend to individuals who enjoy presenting tropes or themes
4 Stars - Compelling page-turner/good character development/well-written with smart plot lines/ would recommend to mass audiences
5 Stars - Thought-provoking/elicits strong emotional response/brilliancy in plot or highly informative/would recommend to all readers
