Review Policy

If you're an author, publisher, or anyone else in the book community and would like to contact me about book reviews, author interviews, book tours, or anything else, please email me at

When I review a book, my opinions and thoughts will be my own honest views.

If you request that I review a book, please keep this in mind. I will try my best to review any ARC before its release date, but I cannot promise this at all times. Any book I review will be posted on goodreads and here on my blog. I also keep the right to choose not to review a book for any reason.

Genres I particularly love reading:

-Contemporary
-Romance
-Fantasy
-Science Fiction
-Historical

-Middle Grade
-Young Adult
-New Adult.

I will not review nonfiction, but otherwise I am mostly up to reading anything. I also may or may not read adult fiction, depending on the book.


Rating System
5 Stars- I love this book and any flaws are easily overlooked in context of the read
4 Stars- I enjoyed the book, but the problems started getting in the way for me and I just couldn't overlook it.
3 Stars- I liked the book well enough, but there were some major issues. Maybe something doesn't make sense or is just missing.
2 Stars- I probably disliked it, or just major issues all around. Still, I might see how others would like it.
1 Star- Generally, this means that it was a DNF, or it should have been a DNF with problems and holes getting in the way of enjoyment. Definitely did not like it

Unique Settings

Last week, I ran out of time to do my Top Ten Tuesday post, but I still loved the prompt of settings that I'd like to see more of. Since this week was a freebie, I decided to go ahead and do this prompt. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. The books I have read from these books have been absolutely amazing in the majority of circumstances, but there needs to be so much more, especially in traditional publishing for a wide range of audiences, though some of these are best suited to YA or NA. So, let's get started! 4H- I spent twelve years as a member of local 4H, and I have only read one book that ever had showing livestock at a county fair as a plotline. It was amazing, but I haven't seen this aspect of my life in any other book. I have a few ideas based on my experiences

August Six Degrees

I recently discovered the Six Degrees of Separation meme for book blogs, and it looks like a lot of fun, so I decided to start this month, and see how it goes! This month's prompt is a wild card. Since I didn't do this last month, I'm starting with the book that I'm currently in the middle of- The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. First Link: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan These books are both by the same author, but also they are both the books that got me into that specific type of mythology in the first place, both Greek and Egyptian. I've learned so much after becoming interested based on these books in the first place. Second Link: Pandora Gets Jealous by Carolyn Hennesy Both of these books are takes on Greek mythology. Percy Jackson is modern day, but Pandora is set back then. Still, the main characters are both awesome and their interactions with the Greek gods and other Greek mythical beings are just amazing. Third Link: The Frog Princess

Anticipated Releases

Welcome back to another week of Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl with prompts every week! This one was surprisingly hard for me, maybe because I'm not really in the middle of any great series right now and all of the authors I read a lot aren't releasing this fall. I did include multiple books that I already got from Netgalley but they have not yet come out and I am behind but I still want to read them because I'm excited about their potential and hope that they are as amazing as I wish. So let's get started! Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst- Mare and Denna are an amazing sapp hic couple. I loved Of Ice and Shadows, and I absolutely cannot wait to read the sequel, but I have to. I am really excited for this book. Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan- I got my sister the first book for Christmas and still haven't read it, but this is another amazing sapphic series that I need to read. My sister loved
