Welcome to Introvert Reader’s Review Blog

Hey. I go by the name Introvert Reader when I blog about books. I’m all about reading, reviewing, and relaxing with my cats.

I read all genres: romance, science fiction, mystery-and-thrillers, non-fiction (usually history and biographies), vintage pulp, trashy books, and, once in a while, an actual work of literature.

I review books that many readers would consider offensive—or worse. And I usually have a great time with them. So take that as you will.

I am not a professional book blogger. This site is strictly for fun. I do accept ARCS, though. However, reviews may take me a while.

So if you’re waiting on my 5-star rating to make or break your sales… Sorry?🤷‍♀️

Despite being I am an introvert, I tend to overshare, ramble on extemporaneously in reviews, and provide the occasional embarrassing dose of TMI.

Just a head’s up. I’m socially awkward.

My Review Policy

As long as I’m entertained, a book will receive a positive review, regardless of the quality of the writing.

If I give a book a low rating or negative review, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try reading it.

You know the saying about what opinions are like? I’m no better than the next person. Take my hyperbolic rantings on the “worst and best books ever” with a grain of salt.

Let’s simply enjoy talking about reading.

My Rating System

• 5 Stars: I love, love it! A desert-island-keeper.
• 4.5 Stars: Sure, it’s not perfect—what book is? I’m keeping this on my shelves.
• 4 Stars: Great! I enjoyed it so much! I may hold on to it for a re-read.
• 3.5 Stars: An entertaining, instructive, or enlightening read. I liked it a lot!
• 3 Stars: A flawed book with positive aspects outweighing the negatives. An average book, but time well spent.
• 2.5 Stars: Contains moments I enjoyed, but not enough to make me like the book overall. Sorry. Sell, swap, or donate.
• 2 Stars: It’s not the worst I’ve read, and there might be some positives about the writing or story, but I did not like this.
• 1.5 Stars: I couldn’t stand reading this book! Maybe it’s for petty reasons, but more likely it’s due to frustration over essential issues. Still, I acknowledge the author has talent. Somewhere.
• 1 Star: I HATED this book, probably because I was really bored! Boring is the worst thing a book can be. Worst case, this is a DNF where I got halfway through. At best, I finished it! (yay)
