Blogger / Bookreviewer Looking for Books

[[deleted user]]

Hey everyone! I am a blogger and upcoming book reviewer. I will post by reviews to my Blogger, Medium, Goodreads and Amazon, whichever you would like. (Links to all are in my profile). I can usually finish books in a timely manner. I am open to pdfs but also would accept physical copies if that is what you would prefer. I'm on summer vacation, so I have a lot of time (reading is pretty much all that I've been doing).

If you're interested, reply here or PM me. Thank you!

Hi, Sav, I like how honest you are in your reviews.

I have a Historical novella The Winds of Morning set in Victorian Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. It could really use more reviews. TW: genocide, death by starvation

I can send a PDF if you're interested. My email is giffmacshane (at) gmail (dot) com.

Thanks for your consideration,
Giff

Hi Sav - I'm also on summer vacation (the best part of being an educator) and I love using the time to catch up on reading!

My debut novel, Richie the Caseworker, could use some more reviews. Here’s the back cover synopsis:

Richie McGinn’s life is as unglamourous as it could get. Working a dead-end job delivering pizzas in the busy streets of Yonkers, his only real joy comes from watching the Yankees with his brother – whenever they can afford it, that is. But when his boss sends him out on a delivery to a homeless shelter, Richie starts to feel like maybe there are other options out there for him, and when Pizza Palace closes down, it turns out to be the kick in the butt he needs to take the plunge. But being a caseworker ends up being a completely new ballgame, and it’s one he has no idea how to play.

A poignant coming-of-age novel by Christopher Febles, for anyone leaving college and still trying to find their place in the world.

Either ebook, PDF or physical copy is fine, whatever works. I'm traveling 7/5-14 so the physical might take a little longer.

Thanks for considering!

Reviews will be published within the book or on the cover, along with your name and brief career biography.

Example: "A page turner!" Dr. John Smith, author of "Kids Do Dumb Stuff, Too: A Pediatrician's Advice on Calming Down."



Collisions: Three Short Stories by Stephanie M. Sellers will be published by Sept. 2023.

Contact author at gaumedup@gmail.com for a PDF.



--When the power of wonder collides with the supernatural, anything can happen.

In The Magikaspar Nightmare, Jackie Abbot suffers a ruptured appendix and dreams she is a ring-tailed lemur. At home, Jackie is bossed around by everyone, especially her brother, Harold. She feels like she has no power, and she is sick of it. Becoming a lemur is perfect because female lemurs are the leaders.

Her story begins as she completes the school year’s final assignment, a state essay project. She has been reading about Madagascar’s lemurs and Mississippi at the same time. Jackie and her classmates ran up grapefruit trees, into the redwoods, and to the baobab trees as hunters released the hounds. Brock suffers a broken leg. Prudence and Catrina disappear. But Neo, the autistic boy, sticks around to help, and it’s a good thing he does because Jackie is afraid of the dark.

In Twitterpated, Clay Kiva gives advice to his grandson, Lu, about how to find his wandering beagle, and they learn responsibility begins at home. Clay did not have the beagle neutered, and with love in the air, the dog was twitterpated. Chewy marries a poodle next door to Holly’s Nest Animal Rescue where Clay and Lu learn what happens when the human world and animal world collide.

Rescuing animals is a lot of work and takes a lot of money. But there is no governmental funding for animal rescues. Holly’s Nest Animal Rescue has a wide variety of North Carolina native species when Clay and Lu visit.

In the end, when Lu learns puppies are on the way, Lu answers the call of responsibility when he offers his meager savings to cover the pending results of his beagle’s “marriage.”



Holly’s Nest Animal Rescue is a nonprofit in Sanford, North Carolina. It began as an expression of love for Byron and Kim Wortham after they lost their teenage daughter in an automobile accident.



In When the Yellow Slugs Sing, a development threatens the famous endangered species in Wilderness Park and Jill Jumpy learns she’s followed her heart all over the country only to find she’d left it at home.

These mollusks are famous because they sing and glow and are delicious. A theme of compromise weaves the activism and reunited lovers together as a quasi-judicial hearing inspires critical thinking about decisions that impact species, even slugs.

Realistically, development is at record highs in America, 2023, and mollusks are disappearing at alarming rates. It is important for the public, the voters, to consider the symbiotic relationship of mollusks and humans because mollusks are the ecosystem’s health indicators. When the Yellow Slugs Sing shows how culture changes geography and limits species, and that the art of compromise may be the answer for all species.

Hey Sav, how that vacation going?
I love how honest and straight up you are when reviewing books.
It'd be a great honor to have you review my released debut novel.
Title is Forced To Marry The Mafia's Son, and I could provide you a PDF or ePub if you want one.
Thanks a million.

Dear Sav:

I would like to ask if you would review my book. It is a fantasy novel titled The Shroud and it is available on Amazon and other bookstores.

The story takes place in 16th-century Europe. In it, Queen Elizabeth's former spymaster, Hertford, is recruited by a court faction, the Owls, to recover the Shroud of Turin from Rome before a rival faction can do so and use its supernatural power to usurp the throne. He succeeds, but when a third party starts killing off people from both sides to take the Shroud for himself, Hertford discovers that Gotthard Kettler, an old enemy of England, has reemerged to destroy everyone.

However, when the Owl that Hertford tries to alert is murdered, Kettler frames the old spymaster. Hunted by vengeful members of both factions and suspected by Elizabeth herself, Hertford is forced to go it alone as he pursues Kettler through catacombs, underground churches, and London back alleys, seeking to stop the conspiracies against him, the factions, and the queen by uncovering the secrets of the Shroud that link them all.

I found your message on Goodreads, and thought you might enjoy my book. Are you currently accepting titles for review?

If this sounds like a book that might capture your interest, I can forward you a PDF.

Thanks very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

George Bachman

Hi, Savannah, I'm not sure if this is your thing or if you're currently reviewing, but thought I'd shoot my shot and pitch you my upcoming dark comedy, and drama novel, the Perilous Awakening of Johnny Hazard.

Synopsis: 1986--OSU assistant coach Johnny Hazard is a man who has everything: the woman of his dreams, a recently remodeled Dutch Colonial home, and a budding Benadryl habit. But when his wife, Janet, leaves him to "find herself," Johnny's Benadryl abuse grows out of control, and his nightmares follow him into the daylight. Reality melts, and he's introduced to the world behind the world, meeting a cast of wayward characters who know what he knows, and offer a safe harbor from the storm of his life. But Johnny craves terror, and his downward spiral tightens as he examines a growing sickness within society and himself.

The Perilous Awakening of Johnny Hazard is a deconstruction of the every man dedicated to the horrors of human existence, isolation, self-loathing, and everything we keep hidden. The supernatural terrors that haunt his step mirror his internal struggles. Watch a human dumpster fire in action.

Note: Some readers may find the content matter to be spicy or extreme, but it isn't gratuitous or gory, and nothing in it is done for shock's sake. Our main character's actions are symptomatic of his emotional illiteracy and desperate need for a genuine connection as his life implodes and his inner demons come home to roost. Mental health, sexuality, gender-identity, codependency, and loneliness are all themes. Even the impacts of Reaganism are briefly examined.

Content Warnings: Some (Non-Graphic) Sex, Swearing, Drug Use, Addiction, Brief Mention of Suicide

If you're interested, message me here and I'd be happy to send you the ebook in exchange for your email so I can send a reminder as the release date nears.

We have a contemporary rom-com that we'd love for you to review- Yours, Always

An action movie star needs a small town love to remind him how to live life, off script.

Greyson Atwood, Hollywood movie star, and his best friend Prudence Hardwick have been dancing around their feelings for each other since high school. Fresh off a Verity Award win for Best Actor, and despite the awards buzz that' s in the air, Greyson finds himself burnt out on the Hollywood vibe. He knows his hometown of Amber Falls, Massachusetts is the best place to rest and recover and it doesn' t help that his pent up feelings for Prudence have simmered to the surface one too many times to ignore anymore. Greyson decides he has no choice but to go to Prudence. As the town prepares for the annual Fall Festival, Greyson and Prudence finally have the time to navigate their deep bond of friendship that goes back to their childhood and find out if that bond is enough to build the rest of their lives on, together.

Let me know if you're interested and we can send you an ARC link.

Thanks!

Hello,


I'm looking for reviews for my latest book, “Yuri & the Pig," a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.

The following is the blurb:

“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.

A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.

Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.

But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”

If interested, please contact me at clovatt@xplornet.ca and I’ll arrange for you to receive an e-copy in the format you prefer.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for the invitation. I'd love for you to review 'Three Kinds of North', Book One of 'The Shattered Moon'. Here's the blurb:
A distant future. A world transformed.
Remnants of a shattered moon traverse the skies, memorials to an ancient and nearly-forgotten conflict. In an isolated northern land, society is overseen by the reclusive, all-female, Guild of Dawnsingers, which holds a monopoly on advanced learning. Life seems peaceful and well-ordered; but are the Dawnsingers as benevolent as they seem? What secrets are they hiding?
And what really lies beyond the mountains in the East?
Orphan Jerya unexpectedly finds a home in the Dawnsingers' Guild, but her new life turns sour. Soon she finds herself struggling to reconcile the exhilaration of learning with her growing doubts about the very basis of the Guild's rule. Ultimately she faces an agonising choice which could utterly change her life, and the lives of her two most trusted friends.
Award-winning outdoor writer Jon Sparks turns to speculative fiction in the first book of the genre-stretching Shattered Moon series.
If you're interested let me know and I'll give you a link.
