https://geekygalaxy.co.uk

Geeky Galaxy is a blog dedicated to science-fiction and fantasy books and games. It's run by Lorraine: a twenty-something geek from South-West England. As a sci-fi obsessed gamer and reader, she’s spent most of her life with her nose in a book, or a game controller. In 2020, Geeky Galaxy was longlisted in the UKYA Blogger and Vlogger Awards.

The Crimson Review blog is a compilation of children's and young adult book reviews composed by graduate students enrolled in the Children's and Young Adult Materials and Services courses at the University of Alabama's School of Library and Information Studies. These reviews can assist librarians, teachers, and parents as they select novels, picture books, and informational books for their children or students to read.

The Novel Novice book review blog features primarily Young Adult literature, and select Middle Grade and children's picture books. We very rarely review adult titles that would appeal to YA readers, but not often. We do NOT normally feature or review New Adult literature. Any adult titles we review or feature should at least be appropriate for teen readers.

My name is Sharon (sherton on LibraryThing) from Iowa and I am an avid reader of just about every genre. Of course, I have my favorites, but I'll let you try to guess what they are. If I'm not working in my garden, I'm writing reviews here, for Amazon, LibraryThing, GoodReads and others as requested.

I enjoy reading somewhat eclectic range of book, but I especially enjoy reading paranormal, science fiction, fantasy and contemporary romance in both adult and YA books. I'm not a huge fan of horror I also don't read much erotica or anything overly graphic, abusive or with a blatant amount of excessive violence.

We typically read Young Adult, New Adult (relatively clean please, some explicit content is okay), and some fantasy or thriller/mystery novels. We may branch out and consider other novels, but it just depends on if it seems like something we might enjoy.

Please be aware that I get a lot of requests and will only reply to people on the books that I can commit myself to. If you have not had a reply within 2 days of sending me an email it will more than likely be that I am unable to take on more books at the present time.

I worked in the Canadian publishing industry for 7 years, and loved every minute of it. Now I write book reviews for various publications, and I'm the books columnist for CBC Calgary's Homestretch. I'm the Past President of the Writers' Guild of Alberta Board of Directors and I host various literary events around the city. The majority of the books I review on this blog have been sent to me from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, and all opinions are my own.

I read and review primarily YA fiction. I make exceptions to that rule, mostly for middle-grade and adult crossovers, historical mystery/romances, crime, and other genre fiction. I do not review self-help, inspirational memoirs/Non-Fiction, erotica, or medical texts.
