Honest Reviews ~ Not for the Faint of Heart
In accordance with the FTC guidelines, I want to first state that all books I review are either provided for me for free by the publisher, author or ones I have purchased myself. The expectation from the author and publisher (and myself!) is for an honest review, therefore my reviews will be reflective of that expectation. Most importantly, I want my reviews to be worthwhile . . . To see what I mean, check out: Are Reviews Too Subjective to be Worthwhile? by Jody Hedlund.
I do not use a rating system. I am simply sharing my honest reflections and opinions gained while reading the book in a variety of forms. I am an avid note-taker while reading and plan to share some of the first thoughts that sprang into mind while reading. So stay tuned, this should get interesting!
I also strive to make my reviews creative and unique by adding extra items such as . . . pins I create utilizing quotes from the book/other outside resources, videos, other relevant photos, and more. I plan to review and utilize the ideas shared in this tremendously helpful blog post: Seven Ideas for Crafting Creative Book Reviews by Jody Hedlund
In addition, I do not receive monetary compensation for writing a review.
I enjoy sharing my reviews on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Twitter , Pinterest, and Facebook. If you would like your review posted elsewhere, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your request.
At times, there may be book giveaways provided by the author/ publisher or myself.
