Book Reviews

Click the cover of the books or the “Read More…” button to take you to the review. Some of these reviews can also be found on GoodReads.

I try to give negative reviews infrequently, so the majority of books you will see on this page are books I would recommend to one degree or another. My star rating system is as follows:

One Star: Seriously, don’t ever read this book!

Two Stars: Please, don’t read this book.

Two and a Half Stars: Not something I would read again, but it wasn’t a total waste of my time, or, there were elements I loved and elements I hated.

Three Stars: More good than bad, but with caveats.

Four Stars: It’s not absolutely perfect (what is?), but it is good and I recommend it.

Five Stars: Wow! I might read this a few times.

If you would be interested in having your book read for a potential review, check out my review guidelines on my blog post “Reviewing Self-published Children’s Books with Submission Guidelines.”

If your book meets the submission guidelines send me a request through my contact page, I can take PDF and MSword versions of the book. If you have a particular format you would like to submit, let me know when you make the request. I will not be able to guarantee that I can accommodate your preferred format, but I will never know if you don’t ask.
