About

Welcome to Laura Luiz’s Reader’s Advisory Blog

for

SP2015 LIBR 220-10 For Rsc and Info Prof and Disc: RA

This blog contains 35 books that I have read for my database project. I have organized the site by title and author, which can be viewed in alphabetical order. It is also separated by my first and second half, as the first were done in March and the second were done in May. I have also organized all of the books by genres, which you can find listed on the right hand side of the page. Below you will find a modified VOYA scale, which I used for my rating system. I hope you find this site useful and easy to navigate. Happy reading!
