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.

Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In

Image
Today's topic was listed as Love Freebie   hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl ,  but I couldn't think of anything romantic, so I picked the Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In . In a book, you can go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone... But not every captivating story has a pleasant setting. It's one thing to imagine a world, it's entirely another to actually go there. 1. Arrakis, from Dune by Frank Herbert.  It's too effing hot! Too much sun, too much sand, too much sweat. If the heat doesn't kill you, the sand-worms might... 2. Purgatory-Golf Course, from I Am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist . It's got never-ending blue skies and green grass, what's not to love? I'm just resistant to the idea of a place with no food, no water, no sun... A place where the sins of your past will haunt you until you bleed. 3. Hollywood & Church of Scientology, from Leah Remini's Troublemaker. These are two locations that actually exist in the

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 Things On My Bookish Bucket List

Image
My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by  The Broke and Bookish . Today's theme, the Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List ( could be blogging related, book related etc. -- meeting authors, reading x many books per year, finishing a daunting book, etc .) made me have to think. I suppose finishing  my To-be-read-list, an improbable task, because the list keeps growing. I would love to meet JK Rowling...but I think I'd panic, forget what to ask/say her, and just stare at her and make her uncomfortable. I'd also like to meet John Ajvide Lindqvist because he made me love horror. I want to read Watership Down and Jurassic Park ...but for some odd reason I keep putting them off. I would like to have my copy of Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiars, signed. I'd like to have at least one of my own stories published... ...and see it on a Best-seller list ;-) I want to know how the Kingkiller Chronicles ends, which mean Patrick Rothfuss would have to
