WHAT TYPES OF BOOKS WILL I REVIEW? ARE THERE BOOKS I WILL NOT REVIEW?

I tend to read from a wide selection of books and genres. I particularly enjoy young adult and new adult fiction. This does not mean, however, I will not read from other age demographics. Genres I am particularly interested in are (in order of preference):

  • Coming of Age
  • Realistic Fiction
  • Supernatural/Paranormal
  • Fantasy
  • Romance
  • Dystopia
  • Science Fiction
  • Classics

There are not many books that I won’t read, though I prefer New Adult and Adult Literature (I don’t tend to read Middle Age but I do make exceptions). Some genres I prefer not to read include:

  • Non-fiction (depends)
  • Psychological thrillers
  • Tragedy (unless accompanied with an uplifting second genre)

If you don’t know, simply ask; I don’t bite and I enjoy discussing books either way so it will not annoy or bother me if you have an inquiry. There are always exceptions for both genres I do enjoy and those I dislike. For instance, I have a hard time with horror; however, I love many of Edgar Allan Poe’s works. Additionally, I love fantasy and dystopia. Nevertheless, I did not enjoy the second and final book in the Divergent series by Veronica Roth (cue the gasps now).

FORMATS

I will review physical copies, e-books, and audiobooks for review; however, I do prefer to review physical copies. The only books I will not review are self-published.

OUTLINE OF REVIEWS

The outline of my reviews will include the following information:

  • Synopsis (usually taken from Goodreads)
  • Cover Art Image
