Reviews
The reviews posted here on this blog are also posted at Goodreads. Sometimes, I write (much) shorter reviews which I normally don't post here, so if you are looking for more reviews and book recommendations, you may visit me at Goodreads HERE.
The reviews are solely based on my opinions and preferences and are not affected by how I have retrieved the books. Whether or not they are given to me free of charge or I have to pay for them, it won't affect how I like the books.

Ratings
I'm not a picky reader and I'm not one of those who love to dissect and analyze the books. It is too exhausting! Besides, it would take forever to just finish one book if I were to stop and try to unearth the "hidden meanings". If the book is good, it's good. If it's bad, that's what it is. No amount of dissecting will change that fact.
I mainly rate the books I have read on:
- Pacing: whether it is too fast or too slow.
- Characters: I love the books that I can relate to the characters. Too bitchy is a no-no, but too sweet and go-to-cry-in-the-corner kind of characters are too pathetic.
- Wording: I don't mind if the books are told in first or third person. A great author will make you love anything with the right flow of scenes. Wording is that important.
