I don’t trust paid reviews and neither should you. I'm not getting paid by authors nor publishers, and that's the way it should be. If I wanted to earn a living from my book reviews, I’d offer my services to some media as a freelance reviewer. I was a journalist long enough to know how it works. I enjoy the freedom I get from publishing on my own blog, though. Then again, if you’d like to support me, you're very welcome to do so. If you want to buy me coffee, click here: Buy Me a Coffee at ko-fi.com Another way you can support my work is by clicking on the banners or on the links at the end of a review when it's made you want to buy the book. Thank you. If you want to know more about affiliations, visit PaidForAdvertising.com
