Yes, it is a simple website, but a few matters should be clarified:
1: I have read every book included in Read it! Loved it!
2: A book is included only if I have loved reading it.
3: I only include books that I have read and loved since the year 2000 (when I first started working as a teacher-librarian).
4: I have a thing about purple.
I consider the Purple picks
to be essential reading.
5: Read it! Loved it! does not include sequels unless the sequel is
self-contained and does not need any explanation by previous titles.
Believe me, it was a difficult decision to make, especially as it means
excluding Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban, The voyage of the
Dawn Treader, The restaurant at the end of the universe, The silver
blade, Then, Mr Gum and the biscuit billionaire and The reptile room. Anyway, the first title in a series
is generally the best one, most of the time...
6:
I do NOT receive any free books or promotional gifts. Read it! Loved
it! is completely independent and does not receive any commercial or
financial backing.
7: Read it! Loved it! has been designed to be viewed on an iPad/iPhone (or similar devices) and not desktops/laptops.
