Hi.
Welcome to TBR Etc.! I write about books.
Welcome to TBR Etc.! I write about books.
I am currently accepting physical ARCs. To contact me, please email tbretc@gmail.com . I prefer psychological thrillers, crime, mystery, adult fiction, and post apocalyptic genres. If given, I will be clear that I was given the book in exchange for an honest review and post my review on this blog, Goodreads, and Amazon. I am honest with my review and write in a way that I would communicate as if I were talking to a friend. My reviews include a synopsis, my opinion, opening line, favorite quote, and overall rating. Depending on the book, I may also post about it on my Instagram.
5 Stars- Stop what you're doing and go out and get this book immediately. You'll want this for your bookshelf.
4 Stars- I enjoyed it, but I'm not likely to read it again. Borrow this from the library or buy it used.
3 Stars- Good, but had some flaws. For me, this usually means the writing was too overworked or there was a bad/poorly done ending.
2 Stars- Take it or leave it. Only pick this up if you have read some of the author's work in the past and you're especially interested.
1 Star- You might want to skip it. Didn't do anything for me and I struggled to finish.
DNF- I rarely leave a book that I started unfinished, but in the event that I do I'll always provide the rationale. I'll also give it a fair shot before abandoning- at least 20% of the way through.
