My Reviews:
- My reviews are always based on my personal reading experience and the emotions that I felt while engaging with each book. I understand that not everyone will share the same perspective, and I truly respect that. I love discussing books and hearing different viewpoints—it’s part of what makes reading so rewarding. While I share both what I loved and what I didn’t connect with, I always aim to explain my thoughts respectfully. I deeply appreciate the time and effort that every author puts into their work, and my goal is never to diminish that, only to share my honest experience as a reader.
- My loyalty is to my readers and followers, so I will always be honest. If I didn’t enjoy a book, I won’t say that I did. However, I also believe that every author puts time, effort, and passion into their work, so I will never “trash” a book. Instead, I will explain what didn’t work for me personally, while also highlighting aspects that other readers might enjoy.
- I understand that not everyone shares the same opinion, and that’s perfectly okay. I just ask that we respect one another by expressing our thoughts in a constructive and considerate manner.
- In every review, I aim to highlight something I appreciate about the book. If a story doesn’t resonate with me, I will share my thoughts honestly while keeping my feedback constructive.
- I may not review every book I read—sometimes due to time constraints or because I don’t have a clear rating in mind—but if someone asks me to review a book I’ve read, I’ll definitely make the effort.
- Sometimes I receive ARCs, but that never changes my opinion. Every review I write is my honest reaction to the book.
My Rating System
⭐ Plot, Writing, Characters, and Overall Opinion are the four categories I focus on when rating.
-
★★★★★ (5 stars): Absolutely loved the book! The author’s writing and characters feel so real that I’d want to know them in real life. I may even feel sad when it ends. I’ll recommend it to everyone I meet, and it’s definitely a reread.
-
★★★★ (4 stars): I really enjoyed it, but something small was missing. I might recommend it, but I can’t quite say I loved it.
-
★★★ (3 stars): Glad I read it. It was enjoyable, but not something I’d strongly recommend or reread.
-
★★ (2 stars): The writing or story idea had potential, but something major was lacking. I wouldn’t recommend it.
-
★ (1 star): I did not enjoy this book.
-
0 stars: If a book doesn’t even earn one star, I will explain why as respectfully as I can—or I won’t review it at all. I don’t feel it’s constructive to post only negative feedback, and I hope I never need to use this rating.
