Dear Author,
In all honesty, my 'Read' list on Goodreads.com mostly contains books by authors who are famous and have a fan following. However, I started my blog with a new purpose.
My blog is for new authors, who have delivered far better plots and story-lines, but have not received their fair share of appreciation.
What I'm doing here is merely adding a drop in the ocean. But, this is my way of showing appreciation to new and seriously underestimated works by some truly spectacular authors. I hope they never stop writing.
I welcome all review requests with equal enthusiasm and pick out books as per my preferences. Therefore, I never say 'no' to any requests. I do spend time reading each and every email and will reply, if I have a question. I'm not being rude by not replying to your emails.
If your expect me to review your book in a particular time-frame, then you would be disappointed. I'm occupied with freelance editing assignments and prefer to finish them first.
Reading and reviewing comes next.

How I rate books?

5 STARS - I LOVED IT.
I'm going to re-read and own a copy in every format available to mankind, recommended it and go absolutely bonkers on social media. You'll hear me when I'll be shouting from the other side of the globe. 4 STARS - I LIKED IT. A book when I choose to ignore the flaws when everything else is so captivating. 3 STARS - NOT BLOWN AWAY. This happens when I have really high-hopes at the beginning of the book and it kind of stumbles all the way through. 2 STARS & 1 STAR There could be various reasons why I didn't like it as much as you loved writing it. However, unless I'm really upset, I would only give the star-rating and not write a review. NO STARS This purely happens in cases when I find the story-line of a novel very similar to a book I've already read, loved and rated. |
