Hey you! Random girl on the internet, why should I listen to you when it comes to books? I can make my own decisions!
You can totally make your own decisions. Don't be so feisty! I'm just trying to establish a little credibility here. So why should you listen to me? When I'm not on the internet writing and answering my own questions, I'm working as a Youth Services Librarian and part of that job entails reading hundreds of book reviews to determine what books will be a good fit for our library. It also means I get to spend my days talking to people about books they love, hate, want to burn etc. Your bio says you review for School Library Journal. Is that not enough for you? Well...it's really kind of not. SLJ is awesome. They send you free copies of up and coming authors and sometimes you score an advanced readers copy from a super celebrity author like Veronica Roth or Maggie Stievfater but.....you don't get to pick what you read and that can be a bummer! I'm starting this review site because I want to review books that peak my interest. I want CHOICE! Are you only gonna post reviews? That can be kind of a snore. Nope. I am also going to write snarky entries like this one whenever the mood strikes. Will you take review requests from Indie Authors? Why yes...why yes I will! But, I am also going to review whatever I am reading at the moment whether that be a traditionally published giant like Jane Eyre or a fun find through Amazon Prime. If you want to send me a book to review check out the submissions tab. Don't you secretly want to be an author yourself? Pretty much...which is why reading, reviewing and conversing with literary fans like yourself is a great way to learn what people like to read! Follow this blog please!
