I review books and ebooks. This blog focus is on well written reviews and summaries. Sometimes offering insight into the literary universe such as new release dates. I will read anything to try to expand my literary interests.
Book recommendations are highly encouraged and appreciated – especially for authors, topics, and genres I have not had the pleasure of being introduced to yet. Anyone can recommend a book to me, either as a comment or in an email to:

***NOTE TO AUTHORS/PUBLISHERS***
Here’s a list of things to know before the initial contact to ask me to review the publication:
1. My reviews are subjective. They are my honest opinion. My opinion will not change even if the book is free.
2. I refuse to give a biased review of the publication in exchange for a free copy.
3. I cannot promise I will review your publication, but I will add it to my “to read” shelf on Good reads, on my personal shelf next to my bed or loaded onto my Kindle and/or Tablet.
4. I will read the first 100 pages of the publication, in order to decide if I will write about it.
5. If a publication was given for free, the title of the post will have “(Sponsored)” after the title and a sentence at the end of the post as well, such as “Book was given freely by (name of Author/publisher).”
6. Publication must be readily available in all stores or have an upcoming release date.
7. By sending me a free copy of publication, you consent to let me write a review and/or summary of the publication according to MY OPINION.
