    I'm loving this idea! It's so much fun to see how you describe the books I've read (and loved) in 10 words and to be intrigued by the others.

      I'm glad you liked my post! Sometimes I find reading a blurb or a review doesn't really provide the gist of what the book is about, so I figured the best way to promote my favourite books was to keep it short and simple!
      Thanks for visiting :D

    How long did it take you to write this? Because I've written book annotations before and I know how hard it is to describe a book in so few words! Wonderful by the way!

      I'm not quite sure how long it took - some were definitely more difficult than others. Thanks!

      Thank you! It's hard to start off because there are so many words I could use to describe the books I love!
