How I Review Books
My book reviews are listicle articles in which I explain what I loved about the book and what you should know about it.
When it comes to selecting the best books to review on my book blog, there are certain criteria that I use for judging them.
First, I look at the reviews — both from professional critics and fellow readers — to get a better understanding of what makes a particular book stand out or why it may not be worth recommending.
Second, I research its ratings. Reading through awards and recognitions the book might have received can center my opinion around what others consider great literature and help me decide if I should recommend it or not.
Finally, I make sure to compare several titles from each genre before making a list of recommendations online. This helps me form well-rounded opinions about them which can then be shared openly with other readers.
I made a booklist based on my research to decide which books to read and review. The list of recommended books is unbiased, but my review will be honest so you'll know what I think about their popularity.
I feel this style of reviewing books will allow you to make a more informed decision. I hope that this truly helps simplify your search for the perfect book to read next. Happy Reading!
Other Categories
In-Depth Book Reviews
I've just started adding this category to give you more info about the books I read. These are mostly books from my own "To Be Read" list.
Sometimes, they might also appear in my quick booklist style reviews because research has deemed it worthy lol, but those won't be as detailed (spoiler-free).
It'll take some time to include all the books I've read, so please be patient. But keep checking back because I add new detailed reviews every week.
Books in this category will have two sections: one with no spoilers and another that goes deeper into the story. This is just in case the books from my TBR list didn't make it to my main booklist style reviews. That way you can still get a review with no spoilers.
You will be able to find these under the booklist and reviews section of my site. However, you will need to look under the author's name to find the in-depth review.
Transparency guide
As a Christian, I created this transparency guide with a content scale to help readers make informed choices about the books they choose. I understand that certain topics, like violence, drug use, spirituality, and profanity, can impact our faith journey and the way we engage with stories.
This guide is designed to provide a clear and straightforward overview of what you can expect from a book, allowing you to align your reading choices with your values. Whether you're seeking a wholesome read or something with more depth, this guide helps ensure you pick books that resonate with your beliefs and comfort levels.
As a Christian reader of fiction and nonfiction alike navigating book selection, particularly when romance intertwines with the plot can be tricky.
Understanding that romantic content varies, I categorize these moments by their level of explicitness. This approach aids readers in choosing books that align with their values, ensuring the content is appropriate for their comfort level or younger readers.
While romance is not the genre I read normally, recognizing its presence in various stories and genres helps maintain a balance between engaging plots and personal values. Reviews or book discussions should mention these intimate moments. This isn't about judging the content but helping people make informed choices based on what they're comfortable with.
In summary, while I read multiple genres not just Christian literature. Providing clear, respectful information about such content serves as a valuable tool for readers and parents alike, ensuring that their choices are well-informed and in line with their values. This not only enhances the reading experience but also supports the community in maintaining the standards they hold dear in literary exploration.
