How I Review & Rate Books + A Lil’ Bit About Me!

Hey y’all! Welcome to my crazy world! My name is Trisy. I am a stay at home mama with three boys (Things #1, #2 & #3), three cats and my Chihuahua, Molly. I’m a romance junkie who loves LOVE and a good happy ever after. I love freebies, giveaways, chocolate, coffee, napping, reading and music…not necessarily in that order!

I lost my wonderful husband of 24 years to pancreatic cancer on September 5, 2019. He fought valiantly for 15 months. I took a six month hiatus from my blog but I’m ready to start again! But if I learned anything, it’s that my family is the most important thing in my life. So if I skip some days, or weeks, and I’m not posting, please understand that I’m spending quality time with my family!💜

So a few points about my reviews.

  • I READ every book that I review, these are my opinions. I receive, read and voluntarily review ARCS (e-books or paperback), I DO NOT receive payment for my reviews!!

  • I try not to regurgitate the gist of the book because I figure you can just read the blurb and I try really hard not to include any spoilers although it may happen!

  • I love exclamation points!!😜

  • I read/review a wide variety of books in the romance genre, for example: clean, contemporary, paranormal, erotic, romantic suspense, new adult, young adult & LGBTQ. Please be aware that most of the books I read are for 18 YEARS & UP!

  •  Please understand that since my husband’s passing in September 2019, I’ve been trying to adjust to my new reality as a widow. That means that at this time, I am NOT accepting any review requests until I get back on my feet. Thanks so much for understanding.

  • I generally post my reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, occasionally on Bookbub and similar sites. I also post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
