Introduction

Hello world!

My name is Michelle, also known as Shelly-Beans, and this is my first entry for Shelly-Bean's Book Reviews!  Before I start the actual reviewing, I thought it would be important if you all knew a bit about me. Just to name a few basic things, I graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey in May of 2012 with a Bachelor's Degree in Literature, I love reading/writing, animals, making collages, and I'm a dog groomer.

As you read my reviews, I would like you to keep in mind that I will be writing about everything I read, whether it is a new and upcoming novel or something half the world has read.  I read everything from Victorian poetry to Japanese fiction, so hopefully my reviews will inspire you to read outside of your comfort zone!

The ratings I give the books I read will be letter grades going from an A+ down to F, and to add to the ratings, there will not only be an overall rating but some more components to what I believe help create a great novel.

I will be experimenting with the way I will be reviewing the books I read so please bear with me.

Also, I love hearing people's opinions about the books I review, the reviews themselves, and suggestions of books I should review.

Enjoy!
