Rating Books I've read
I'm a huge advocate of people posting reviews for books - be it positive or negative - as I think they are something that are very very important for authors, both for gaining more interest and for hearing what readers think about their books.
With that said, I wanted to make a note that from here, I'm only going to rate books if I can give them a solid 4 or 5. As an indie author, I want to support other authors and to do that I can't, in good conscious, post up any negative reviews - it would be like dissing a work colleague and that always makes for uncomfortable working environments. I'm a firm believer that indie authors (and trad authors too, in fact) need to help each other and keep each other motivated.
That's not to say there wont be books I haven't enjoyed, I simply won't be posting a review about them or rating them. If I do read a book (be it an ARC or sent to me purposely for review) and I find I can't give it a 4 or 5 star rating then I will reach out to the author and let them know my thoughts instead.
