Please be aware, I read books that are romance, science fiction, young adult and more. The language I use in this blog may not be appropriate for young readers. I feel like it's more interesting if I write the way I speak because, let's face it, sometimes only certain phrases or a cuss word will do. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the humor and the random sh*t that comes out of my mind. Ye be warned...
About me and the blog...
I am a college graduate and an avid reader who really enjoys paranormal novels - I find them to be the most exciting. I believe in artistic freedom so I tend not to criticize authors on their writing style or for the story they've created. I hate negative reviews and reviewers that think they're warding potential readers from reading a book that he or she (the reviewer) didn't like personally. Every reader has a different opinion and what one person hates, another may enjoy.
With that said, in my reviews I try to give an unbiased opinion on books and I try to tell readers what they may or may not like about a particular book. There will never be anything like "I hate this book, therefore you will hate this book - don't read it." I usually talk about what I liked about the book and the affect it had on me so that readers take enough interest in it to read and judge for themselves. Whether or not the reviewer truly loved or hated the book is pretty irrelevant - the focus is on what others may enjoy and maybe a warning on a cliffhanger. I just really want people to read anything and everything and give all books a chance. No negative reviews.
In my reviews I include a small, non-spoilery snippet so that readers get a taste of the writing style. Once I've posted a review, I announce it on Twitter here and include the authors Twitter name (if they have one). I love spreading the word on books I've read and their authors. I also love hearing about people reading and loving a book they never would have picked up if I had not mentioned it. It makes me feel like I'm helping to broaden their reading scope and widen the authors fan base.
I'm still working on catching up on my reviews since creating the new blog. I should be caught up soon so that I can resume my reading.
