Book Reviews
Since my intention is for the Confetti Bookshelf to be a place to celebrate reading, you won’t find negative book reviews here. A thorough list of everything I’ve read and rated can be found on my Goodreads page, but if you’re just looking for recommendations - this is the place. I use a 5-star scale, and I’ve given every title on the Confetti Bookshelf at least 3 stars. I truly hope you discover something you love, and maybe even a new favorite or two. Happy reading!
