Blog Policies

Hello there! These days I'm an intermittent poster, but it means so much to me that you made time to stop by!

I read a little bit of everything. Fantasy and Science Fiction are my favorites, but I also read contemporary, classic, and literary fictions. Suspense, thriller, horror, and some mystery.  I sometimes read non-fiction & memoir type books, but when I do, they're usually based on pets, more often on horses... I read as the mood strikes me.

I do not currently earn an income off of my book blog, my posts are for my enjoyment, and hopefully yours. I apologize if my posts are not always consistent.

Review Policy 

I will always review honestly, fairly is a matter of perspective. I try to give a brief synopsis of every book, followed by why I loved/didn't love the book in question. I do not make a habit of attacking authors on a personal level; in other words if the book sucked, I give examples from the book, I never use the author's personal lives against them.

I will do my best to avoid spoilers, but I may use examples from the book to support what I'm saying; let's face it, some books have so much going on they're hard to review without giving something away. I'll never purposely take the surprise out of a plot twist.

My reviews are based on the Amazon/Goodreads 5 star system, my stars are translated such:
  1. Hated It.
  2. Could've Been Worse.
  3. Just Okay.
  4. Enjoyable.
  5. Loved It.
Comment Policy

Your opinion does matter and you are allowed to share it in the comments area. I may not have time to respond to all comments, but I thank everyone who takes the time to leave them. You are allowed to disagree with me, and even with each other, but you must do it respectfully.
Featured Blogs

I'm trying to give the blog a face lift and I haven't quite figure out how to integrate featured blogs. Please stand by.

Book Promotions

At this time, I am not actively seeking review requests or author interviews; this may change in the future. You are always welcome to submit book recs/review requests, but I am under no obligation to review. I occasionally sign up for Advanced Reader Copies and Giveaways, I will leave those reviews here, on Amazon, and on GoodReads.

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

Top Ten Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Image
Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
