How It Will Work
... if the ghost of merry reading takes me/ infrequent periods of time (life happens):
I will give an honest/respectful review.
I am less about pedantic details (grammar, punctuation--unless it's disruptive/distracting to the enjoyment of the story), and more about big picture details: plot, theme, execution, cohesion/coherence, enjoyment.
Bonus: I will be a "sensitivity [racial, gender, sexuality] reader."
FACT: I will post my reviews on Amazon/GoodReads/Reddit.
PS. Will do this free of charge; but, if you feel a twinge of guilt or is happy with my review, you can tip me:
