Books fascinate me. It’s that simple. I like to be drawn in and entertained by mere words and I thought this blog would be a way to share a few of my favorite finds with others in the hopes that they too will pass along that great read.
What I read: historical fiction, general fiction, fantasy, science fiction, thriller, mystery, romance, horror (at my discretion), young adult, and paranormal.
What I don’t read: biography, memoir, religious based books, or erotica.
My ratings system: It’s very simple — a scale of 1 to 5 stars, 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest. Basically it comes down to a read at your own risk to a very high you must absolutely read this book rating. It’s far from scientific but I find it works for me.
Did Not Finish
1 – I didn’t care for it. Read at your own risk.
2 – OK but I probably won’t re-read.
3 – Good
4 – Great
5 – Fabulous. You must read this book.
Please remember, this is only one person’s opinion, mine in fact, so keep that in mind when looking at the ratings. We all have different tastes.
Review copies: Review copies can be sent to me but all may not get a mention here. I make no guarantees but I will do my best to read and review a book honestly that is sent to me. If I cannot review the book, I will try to pass it along to someone via this blog and mention it here with a note.
I will accept ebooks on a case by case basis. Please ask before sending.
I will also accept self-published books. Again, please ask before sending.
If you are an author or a publisher interested in having your book featured, please send me an email at amybethe2 AT yahoo DOT com.
If you prefer that ARC copies are not given away, please let me know.
Reviews will also be posted on my Writing.com site and Librarything.
I also do reviews for The Book Reporter. You can read by reviews on their site and will probably see a few re-caps on this blog too.
Please note, I will try to read and review in a timely manner but be patient as life does sometimes get in the way of a good book.
DISCLOSURE:
The books I review on this site are chosen by me. They are part of my personal collection or have been borrowed from the library or a friend. A few books are advanced reader’s copies which I have requested for review. All books are tagged so readers know the origin of the book.
I also do reviews voluntarily for a website called The Book Reporter. Some of the books I receive from The Book Reporter are advanced reader’s copies and are marked as such. I also mark these reviews as Book Reporter reviews.
I do not accept payment for any of the reviews on this site. All advanced reader’s copies received are reviewed with the understanding that I will be posting an honest review and nothing more. I have not been paid to express positive critique about any of the books or topics on this blog.
