I have a varied taste in books but I tend to swing from contemporary women's fiction, chic lit & romance to crime/psychological thrillers. I avoid sci-fi, fantasy, futuristic and erotica.
I like a book, no matter how light to have a message, at the end I like to feel I have learnt something. A book that keeps me talking and thinking about it long after the final page is the best kind of all no matter what the genre!
Reading is a huge hobby for me and I only post reviews for the books I really enjoyed, there's not enough hours in the day to review everything I read. I grade the books on a 1 - 5 scale but choose not to post a review on anything below a 4. I feel a review is a personal opinion and nothing is to be gained by posting negative reviews on books I have bought or been given for review purposes. Reading and reviewing is a hobby not a job for me and I accept that not everyone will share the same opinion as myself. I appreciate that the author has put many hundreds of hours work into their novel and I don't choose to publicly share negative opinions.
All reviews I post will be shown on my blog, up loaded to Amazon, Goodreads and shared on Instagram and twitter and where appropriate netgalley.
Scoring
1 = Truly dreadful, I couldn't finish it
2 = I didn't like it at all
3 = Ok, some good bits, some not so good bits
4 = Really liked it
5 = Loved it, fantastic book
