What Do My Reviews Consist Of?

  • Book photography, a brief synopsis taken from goodreads, and my review/opinion on the book. 
  • 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?

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...

How Realistic Do Books Need To Be For You To Enjoy Them?

Recently, I read Every Last Word By Tamara Ireland Stone. I loved the book, but it wasn't too realistic. To me, it didn't even seem like Sam had OCD, and the way the whole story was not how it would have happened in real life. I was kind of surprised by this because usually I dislike books that aren't realistic, and I also usually take some "points" off in my review if they are not realistic.  Does how realistic a book is affect your enjoyment levels of a book? Personally, I think that a fictional book does not need to be 100% realistic for mwah to enjoy it. However, I do think that a book, even if fictional, needs to be realistic enough to be believable. When reading about a character and their struggle(s), I need to believe they are actually struggling to sympathize with them. All of this is all up to what kind of reader you are and what you like best. In my opinion, fantasy fictional novels can be about 25% realistic, and still be enjoyable for me. How...
