What Do My Reviews Consist Of?

  • Please note that all of my reviews are HONEST reviews, therefore I may not like your book and I will write about anything I disliked in my review. I will explain why I disliked your book if applicable, but I will bash no authors in book reviews. 
  • Also, if your book is self-published or not an ARC, it will not get first priority. If you do not indicate a time frame for the the review, I will review the book on my own time. 

What Should I Include in my email?

  • The title of the book, the author of the book, the book's page count, what genre the book is, a brief synopsis of the book, what format you are offering for the book review, and a time frame, if applicable, for the review. 
  • If your book meets all the standards, please email me in the format I have outlined  at craftypalooza@gmail.com.

How Does Unique Formatting in Books Affect Your Reading Experience?

Image
How does the formatting of a book affect your reading experience? I usually enjoy unique formatting in my books, but I recently read the first half of Illuminae before putting it down. I quit reading Illuminae because of the formatting. While the whole book being composed of lab reports, wikipedia articles, and IM messages was a cool concept, it made the story hard to follow. Many people enjoyed Illuminae because of the unique formatting, and others enjoyed it because they thought it had a good story. The formatting, for me made the story drag and I had no idea what was going on until about page 150. The only part I enjoyed was the interviews with some of our characters because it was only then that you really got to see the characters. I enjoy both books that have unique formatting and books that have traditional formatting. However, I think that if a book does have unique formatting, the formatting should add to the story, not take away from the story. When I was reading I...

Quotes Show You A Story (ft. Say What You Will)

Image
Since I believe that if you pick certain quotes out a story, you will be shown the story, I have now made a new feature for it. Oh, and this Quotes Show You A Story will be focusing on Say What You Will By Cammie McGovern.  • "Living in a body that limits my choices means I am not a victim of fashion or cultural pressures because there is no place for me in the culture I see." I think this quote really shows you how Amy was perfectly fine with not experiencing life, experiencing what she was meant to experience until the right person came along.  • "Counting was a relief. Almost a pleasure. A way to measure and contain a world that otherwise spun too quickly for him." This quote about Matthew's OCD. He tries to control an imperfect world, and he just can't. He can't control it and when Amy tries, she can't either. I didn't always like how the unrealatable issues were dealt with in this book, but I do really like  this quote.  ...
