Lion's Child's Book Ratings

Attention!

This is the old, non-updated Lion's Child. Please go to www.lionschild.com to see the current site!



This is a list of most of the books I have read in the last few years. Some of these books may be hard to find, but if you search hard enough you will find a treasure. (Rummage sales, thrift shops, and used book stores are great places to look if you can't find them at your local library.) These books are rated purely by the enjoyment I had in reading them. The ratings don't refer to the value of their content.

And now, without further ado, here are the books!
