A Little About Myself

     Hello, my name is Shea, and I love to read! I wanted to create this blog in hopes that it makes more people eager to get into reading. All it took for me was one TikTok, and now I read every day. I first started out reading fantasy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas was what got me into it all. It then drew me into reading more fantasy books like The Plated Prisoner series by Raven Kennedy, the Fourth Wing series by Rebecca Yarros, Quicksilver by Callie Hart, The Lightlark Saga by Alex Aster, and many more! It then transitioned from reading strictly fantasy, to reading some romance books! 

    This blog will mostly focus on my own personal reviews of books. Just remember that my opinions may differ from others, but don't let what I say ever deter you from reading! I am someone who loves a good enemies-to-lovers with forced proximity. Recently, I got into reading rom-coms as well. I will say the number one issue I have with any book is the writing style. If it's too choppy, it makes it difficult for me to finish reading. It also sped up/rushed plots, but I'll get into all that when I write my reviews. 

    Since I'm reviewing books, I will also be putting in small summaries of the book to go off of. With that said, it means that there will be a chance of spoilers for the book. If you have no trouble with spoilers, read ahead! (I will make sure to mark the beginning of my posts with a spoiler warning!)

    I wanted to write here what my star ratings mean so you get a better idea of what each star means. I rate my books from 1-5 stars. 

• A 5 star rating for me is a book I couldn't put down. It was a book that was so captivating that I never stalled in reading and I would pick up and read over and over again after.
• A 4-star rating is a really good book. I had a great time reading it, and I will remember it. Although I probably won't reread it as I would a 5 star.
• A 3-star rating is an okay read. It wasn't the best, and it wasn't the worst. I might have had a harder time reading this and had to take breaks during.
• A 2-star rating was a struggle to read. It might've been a rushed plot or not the best writing style. I could have liked the story, but the way it was written made it very difficult to finish.
• A 1-star rating was either a DNF (do not finish) or close to it. I try very hard to get through every book I've picked up, but if it's a 1-star then it was not only hard to read but also a story I couldn't get into or love. (I very rarely, if ever, give a 1 star)

    I also will do halves on stars so I can put a 4.5 or 3.5 for a book that rests in the middle of my rating.

    Since I am new to this all I ask is to give me shot. Might take me a couple trys to get into the groove of things, but eventually I hope to become a successful book blogger/reviewer. One of my goals is to create enough of a following where I could get accepted to do book tours and ARC reviews for authors and help them grow their books! So thank you to everyone who was able to read through this post and thank you for giving me a chance!
