MJ’s Book Reviews

Authors with surnames: A – M, which you’ll find in this review list post, and the N – Z List can be found here:  Reviews N – Z

I’ve started a bookstagram recently: https://www.instagram.com/mjm_reviews/

I review in a range of genres from YA, to Historical Fiction, Crime, Asian Literature, Paranormal, Magic, Fantasy, Literary Fiction, and Science Fiction.

The list includes my rating, from 3 to 5 stars –  please bear in mind that I don’t read and rate books that I don’t enjoy – Life is too short for that!  So please don’t bombard me with requests. I just tend to choose what I want to read, I’m a bit of a fussy old owl that way.  As well as this I’ve added type of genre, star rating, etc…

At the end of the list there are a few special interest books too.

Also, I’m on Goodreads too: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/20419289-marje-mallon
