The No-Nos;;

This list consists of genres that I do not read/watch or review. 

  • Children
  • Adult Books (I do read James Patterson occasionally, and Dan Brown. Books along this lines may be acceptable, though I will most likely decline.)
  • Religious (I am religious, but I'm keeping a neutral blog here.)
  • Western
  • Graphic Novels
  • Strictly Romance (I don't read those books with water sprayed chests on the cover, or suggestive images and I don't watch movies that practically take place in the bed.)
  • Horror Films (I may do something horror-ish, but not guts-flying-and-blood-spraying-everywhere films.)

Policy;;

  •  I am open to accepting finished books and ARCS for review. 
  •  I do not accept e-books, for the most part. This may change.
  •  I am not compensated for any of my reviews for books, movies, or otherwise.
  •  I may post spoilers in my reviews, but they will contain a warning shortly before the spoiler appears. If you wish for no spoilers, please say so.
  • I write HONEST reviews. This means that you have every chance of receiving a ONE spork rating just as you do of a FIVE spork rating. Each rating entails certain verbiage to describe why I felt the book received it.
  • I will review books in series, but only in order. If you have a book in a series that isn't the first; message me. I may have read the previous book(s).
  • Expect up to a TWO MONTH delay in reviews. I am very busy and if I do not latch onto the story right away, it may take me awhile to finish reading it. Additionally .....
  • I may not finish a book. I will always try my best to finish a book, but if it's not feasible, I will not pursue it. It will receive a rating equivalent to what I have read or simply an NF.
 If you're interested in a review, interview, guest post, or giveaway, please contact me. Any questions? Contact me.
