about me / review policy

The name’s Jaime.  That’s I before M, 5 letters, no Ys.  And, I’m a girl.  Yes, I have to spell it often. Live in Christiansburg, VA.  31, married, no kids, two cats (Puddin’ and Tashi’).  Obsessed with books.  A lot.

20-25% of the books I review came to me for reviewing purposes from authors, publishers, and websites.  The rest are my own acquisitions through purchase, swap, gift, or library borrowing.  I am trying to remember to disclose when a book is a review copy. Regardless of the origin of the book, my reviews are my honest thoughts.  A free book does not guarantee a good review.  I include the bad with the good, because in my opinion, life is too short to waste time on bad or unsatisfying books.

Additionally, the book links in my post are attached to my Amazon Affiliate account, so if you purchase a book from a link on this site, I will receive a tiny percentage (eventually).  And I run Google Ads, but I expect it will be a very long time before I see any sort of check from that.

For authors and publishers/publicists
I currently am unable to accept further requests for review. Thank you all for the wonderful books you have sent me! Now, I need to get them all read.

I review not only here on my blog, but on Amazon, Shelfari, Goodreads, LibraryThing, and Facebook (via Goodreads).  My blog feed also posts to Twitter. Links to all of these accounts can be found in my right sidebar.

Thank you for reading!
