ABOUT THE BLOG AND THE CREATOR

About the blog

Hello! Welcome to my blog. (Seriously, it you're reading this, thanks.) This is where I post reviews for the books I read, as well as articles about things just tentatively related to reading. The name of the blog is just my username because I wasn't able to think up anything better.

​

I do monthly roundups of all the books I've read that month, plus yearly roundups of my favorites. My reviews are pretty short because I don't have a lot of time, but I do try to be thorough and fairly evaluate each book.

​

For further reference, my rating scale is thus:

★☆☆☆☆: Didn't like it

★★☆☆☆: It was okay

★★★☆☆: Liked it

★★★★☆: Really liked it

★★★★★: Loved it

(Yes, this is stolen from Goodreads, but they have a good system!)

​

Types of books I generally review/rate highly

• Speculative fiction of all types

• Thoughtful stories with more serious themes

• Character-driven stories

• Stories with plot twists and conspiracies

• Anything with the found family trope

​

Types of books I generally don't review/rate highly: 

• Romance-based stories in general

• Action-heavy plots with no emotional backing

• Lack of logic

• Excessive horniness

• Anything with animal abuse 

​

I really do this blog for fun, but do also try to be serious when writings reviews. That being said, I can be a little petty with my ratings, and all of my opinions are mine, and mine alone. For the most part, I judge off of entertainment factor, not intellectual value. But I do my best to by fair both to the books, and the opinions of others.

​

Any discrepancies in ratings on here and on Goodreads are completely accidental, and the Goodreads one is probably correct. In addition, there are some books that I rated and reviewed on Goodreads, but that aren't featured on this blog. Those are from when I abandoned this blog for a few months due to burnout. Since then, I've been writing shorter reviews, and only reading what I actually enjoy.
