Let's Connect (And Let's Be Clear)

So glad y'all wandered into this corner of the internet! Whether you're here to chat books, swap recommendations, or inquire about a review, this is your one-stop shop for all things contact-related. Think of it as my virtual front porch... pull up a chair, and let's talk.

Where to Find Me Causing Bookish Chaos:


Want to Send a Direct Note?

Got a question? A recommendation I absolutely need to hear? Just want to tell me I'm not alone in having a TBR pile that could double as furniture? Use the fancy contact form below. I read every single message and do my best to reply; it might just take me a minute to pry my nose out of a book first.


The Fine Print (Or: How Reviews Work Around Here)

If you're an author or publisher considering reaching out, read this first. I like to keep things transparent, so we're both on the same page (pun absolutely intended).

What I Read (And Love):

My heart belongs to Fantasy in all its glorious forms. If it's Epic or Romantasy, Light or Dark, it's for me. Romance is always a win, but I'm picky, so authors beware. I also dabble in women's and literary fiction. If it involves feelings, witty banter, or a map, I'm probably in.

What I Probably Won't Read:

To save us both time, I generally don't read mysteries or thrillers, because they just don't hit the spot.

My Reviewing Ethos (Fancy Word for "How I Do Things"):

  • Honesty is my only policy. If I love a book, I will shout it from the rooftops. If a book isn't for me, I will explain why, respectfully. My reviews are my genuine opinion, whether I bought the book myself or received it as a review copy.
  • I don't rate books I don't finish. Life's too short, and my TBR is too long. If a book is a DNF (Did Not Finish), I'll let you know and tell you why I put it down.
  • My ratings are based on feels. A 5-star book is one that made me laugh, cry, or ignore my family for a full 24 hours. A 3-star book was enjoyable but didn't leave a lasting mark. Simple as that.

Ready to Pitch a Book?

If your book fits what I read and you're okay with my honest approach, I'd love to hear about you and your work! Please send all review inquiries to smashreadsbooks@gmail.com with "Review Request" in the subject line. Please allow up to 2 weeks for a response. I'm just one reader with a never-ending pile of books and a very demanding day job.
