Here I'll outline my bookreviewing plans.
JUDGING A BOOK BY ITS COVER: What it says on the tin. I give my immediate first impressions of a book based on its cover, rating it on aesthetics and how well it conveys the book's themes. Spam some covers at me.

Thinking of starting up a podcast where I review different books and discuss them. Who'd be up for listening to that? #books #podcasts #bookreviewing #TheRebelFae #promote

Glad to see that The Seaboard Review is devoting this week's issue to #WeirdFiction, a term I like to use to describe the wide variety of horror writing, that takes in the gothic, uncanny, and surreal. #bookreviewing

It's also possible (& just good writerly citizenship) to write a supportive & favorable review even if a book doesn't entirely rock your boat.

So much yes on this. I go a step further...if I don't like a book I just don't review it. There's a lot of drek out there for one, but sometimes I can see it's probably a decent book but just doesn't do it for me. Drek ain't worth the time, but why ruin an author's day in the second case?

*grumbling* Yes okay, my initial bio on my #NetGalley profile wasn't very detailed, but that's no reason to not let me read your book. A few writers even liked my reviews of their books.
I *did* rewrite the bio, mind. Including favorite authors and sub-genres. #books #bookreviewing

What makes a book 5-star worthy?
For me, a 5-star book is one I would want to read again.
My most recent 5-Star was The Saint by Penelope Sky 5 stars! Loved this series.
