Book Reviews

Book reviews are a writer’s essential need, if her books are to be bought and read and reread. I enjoy reading, and I have an ever-growing tower of books to show for it. I also have a Kindle and, yes, that means I have a large number of ebooks impatiently waiting for my attention. (And that means that I do not accept unsolicited requests for a book review.)

I publish my reviews in the usual places like Amazon and Goodreads. (Oh, wait, they’re the same thing, aren’t they?) I also publish reviews here on my blog and on LibraryThing. If you’re a bibliophile, check out my profile there: https://www.librarything.com/profile/BaileyBrown

Sometimes I write my book reviews within a story; those reviews will include “A Different Kind of Book Review” in the post title. Sometimes I write a more traditional review, one more appropriate for Goodreads or Amazon.

If you’re casting about for a new book to read (or maybe an old book to reread), browse through my book reviews below. I’m sure you’ll find something to enjoy. And, please, be sure to leave your own review.
