A Little Blog Of Books

It may not come as a surprise to you that I like books and I read quite a lot of them Ð mostly contemporary, literary and translated fiction. I love stories with unreliable narrators and my greatest fear is running out of books to read. I don't accept review copies of self-published books. However, do feel free to contact me with all queries via email or Twitter. Please be aware that I may not be able to respond straight away.

Chapter By Chapter

We primarily read Young Adult and MG novels, with a a big preference towards Fantasy, Dystopia and Paranormal Romance. We are also huge, HUGE fans of trilogies, sagas and series, and would prefer to read the books in sequential order. Nothing makes me sadder than to read a book without knowing that it was part of a series, and no spoiler alerts :(

Redeemed Reader

We love the classics, but we also review lots of new books. In fact, most of our reviews are of books published within the last two or three years. This is partly because these books will be more readily available at your local library, but we also believe that reading newer books helps us define our salt-and-light mission.

Crime Book Junkie

I am glad to accept books for review consideration on my book review blog CrimeBookJunkie. My reviews are only my opinion and I always try to be constructive, say what I liked about a book or explain why it was not particularly to my taste. If I do not like a book, I will be as honest as I can in a constructive manne. I appreciate that writing is hard work so will not be negative/overly critical.
