Disclaimer Time (Because, You Know, Transparency):
I’m not getting paid to write any of these reviews. No publisher money, no shady deals, no “sponsored by the latest big name.” The only thing I get from this is a genuine love for books and a wish to share that with you. However, if you decide to pick up any of these books through the Amazon links on my site, I do earn a small commission. I know, I know—death to Amazon, right? But hey, I’m working on it. I’ve applied for the Barnes & Noble affiliate program, but as of now, they haven’t approved me. So until that happens, if you’re cool with using Amazon, I get a little something back when you buy through those links.
