Where will I publish?
I will publish full reviews on this blog and on Goodreads.
I will also publish snippets on Twitter and a mini book review on Instagram.
When will I publish?
Okay, so while I aim to publish at least 2 book reviews a month on this blog, I’m a big mood reader and I’m currently working through a massive backlog of backlist books.
For new books, I try to get a review out within 2 – 3 weeks.

Genres
I don’t have a specific genre of films that I prefer watching because I’m very much a mood watcher e.g. Lord of the Rings when I’m feeling nostalgic yet also irritable. Very specific, I know.
However, if I have to choose genres:
- Fantasy
- Period Dramas
- Romance
- Mystery/Thriller
- Action
Product/Course Reviews
I will be reviewing products and courses that are related to reading, writing, and editing. Anything outside of that scope will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Ratings
For all my reviews, I use a 5-star rating system.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Excellent! I will recommend it to everyone I’ve ever met.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Good! I enjoyed it a lot but there may be something that can be improved.
⭐⭐⭐ – Okay! It wasn’t bad but it also wasn’t great. Can be salvaged?
⭐⭐ – Hmmm. This one was drifting to the edge of awful. Too many issues to unpack.
⭐ – No. I won’t feel comfortable recommending this to anyone.
