Let me just be clear I love books are read across all
genres but what I don’t read is fetish, alien, and books that have no plot just
a bunch of “mommy porn.” I like what I like and for that I am unapologetic. I
am sure there is an audience for such books I am just not it. I learned a good
lesson with just accepting arcs. I honestly cannot endorse everything it wouldn’t
be honest which is why I have been doing more promo’s then reviewing as of
late. I am not saying I am not reviewing or beta reading anymore just that I am
being more discerning. On my blog I list my likes and dislikes so if you feel
your books meets my aesthetic please send me a request.
The books I have been seeing in mass production titles
are so crazy I don’t even know how authors can even seriously publish them. I won’t
list any of the titles on here but anything with a “color” in the title with
some sort of sexual expletive is not my type of book. It’s a fetish plan and
simple. Now I don’t judge people who buy these books but they aren’t for me.
I understand that most people write these days to turn a dime and not for the love of it anymore. But really are we releasing fetish books and I use the term books loosely because they are more like pamphlets for the little bit of content.
Another thing that I have been noticing are reviewers who endorse anything for a free book. Listen, I cannot will not pimp myself out for a book. I have always paid for my books and will continue to pay for them. Going into 2016 I will be on a reviewing hiatus for awhile. I urge real authors with content not those who are jumping on the tyrannical Amazon easy publish bandwagon to take back your craft. Dont let these newbies who not all have no talent, unedited books sway you from your craft. I like many bloggers are begging for good reads. With the recent rise of fake reviews and a mob of fan girls who if you state any opposition are on the attack, who in the world would want to review? Its a sad state but I am hopefully that 2016 will be a better reading year.
