I always write my reviews honestly and from my perspective as a teacher librarian and a massive fan of all the genres I read. Each review contains a summary of the plot and a breakdown of the characters, themes and what I liked or disliked. You'll also find information about the book, including subjects, genres, publisher, formats and ISBN and links at the base of the review.

Age and Advisory Guide

As a librarian I know how hard it can be to assess a book for its level of content, especially for parents who may want to check what their child is reading, in school libraries where books may be separated into a variety of collections based on grade or age levels, or for readers who want to be aware of trigger warnings before they start reading. That's why I aim to provide some information about the content included in the books I review. This may include trigger warnings, coarse language, mature themes, sexual content, violence, or alcohol and drug use. No judgements, just a facts-based summary that you can read and then decide if the book is suitable for you. The age guide provided for children's or young adult books is a guide only and is provided directly from the publishers. You'll find the age guide and advisory guide at the bottom of each review.

Representation

I have also started to include a summary of the characters represented. This includes ethnicity, sexual orientation, and disability. This is only intended to help people find characters, to highlight the importance of a wide range of character diversity and help with collection development or diversity audits.
