An Introduction

Hello everyone!

This is the first post in what I hope becomes a helpful blog for my fellow readers! I've always admired those people who can read book upon book and be able to write reviews. Honestly, reading book reviews is how I pick the books I read. I know book reviews are only opinions, but I honestly feel that if reviews for a book are mostly negative, the book may not be worth reading. But, as everyone knows, just because people dislike something doesn't mean that it isn't great to someone else. If we all followed the crowd, how would we ever discover something new?

One of my personal philosophies is that I cannot criticise or comment on something if I have not personally experienced it. I've read plenty of books that were unfortunately awful. Because I have read them, I feel as if I can comment on them negatively and not be a "Negative Nancy". I will try to steer clear of writing entirely negative book reviews. There is always SOMETHING redeeming about a book; even if it is difficult to find.

When I rate a book I will give it a number of 📖 (or what I call "Bookies") out of 5 and tell you if I recommend the book or not.

Anyway, I hope someone out there will find my reviews helpful and I hope you find a new book through me!
