My Book Reviews

Over the years I have reviewed a number of books on this blog. I am listing the reviews here. I am also making note of books that were independently published or published by small presses. My review policy is simple: I'll only review books that interest me personally. Generally speaking I do not give reviews of less than 3 stars for the simple reason that if a book is that bad chances are I will not finish it -- life is too short to read bad books. I tend not review in genres that do not interest me (these include most science fiction, fantasy, contemporary romance, most erotica and most paranormal books) but I do make exceptions. Thank you for your interest.
