Review FAQ and Policies

How does a book recommendation differ from a review?

Reviewed books are ones I’ve personally read and can offer opinions about.  Recommendations are books I have come across or are submitted by authors that I have not read but may intend to.

What is your rating system?

I go by the five-star system when posting my reviews on Goodreads or Amazon; however, don’t include those in this blog so as not to brand books with a number.  That said, any book reviewed here are ones I would endorse to new readers and quantify my opinion with:

• Status updates that do not spoil the plot-points of the book but offer sincere reactions throughout the progress of it. 

• The review itself (also posted on Amazon or Goodreads) that also avoids spoilers and focuses more on the style of writing, characterization and potential appeal to readers.
