I started reviewing back in 2006 but I never really got back into it. I’m a natural born critic so I’m looking forward to getting back into analyzing various items.
I’m interested in a lot of things but especially
tarot, astrology, numerology, self-help, meditation, spirituality, metaphysics, philosophy, creativity, business, communication, design, art, English, writing, fun, fitness, health, web design, programming
When it comes to books
I love reading non-fiction, how-to books.
About my review style
When I buy a book, audio product, tarot deck, oracle, or other item, I want it to deliver on its promise. I want it to be useful and I want it to help me gain expertise and enjoyment.
Even if we can return an item, that takes time and money, not to mention disappointment. I also want to help people make an informed decision on what to buy that will help them with whatever they want to learn, understand, and accomplish.
As a professional tarot reader, astrologer, numerologist, psychic, and spiritualist owning more than 2,000 metaphysical books, CD’s, DVD’s and over 300 tarot decks and oracle cards, I feel it’s my duty to let you know about great books, items and audio products that have helped me in my work and personal life. As well, I want to tip my hat and support my colleagues whenever they offer excellent work to the world!!
I will not write a wholly negative review. The least rating I’ll give is 3 stars which means ‘good’ and good is not bad — it’s neutral. I could live without the item but the item has merit.
If a publication is less than good, I don’t want to waste my positive energy on it and I tend to be really good at picking out winners to read. Nonetheless, the reviews I do write are accurate, truthful, and genuine. I just don’t think the world needs to spread negativity or hurtful words. We encounter enough of that in our daily lives, I don’t want to add to the pile.
However, there is always the exception to the rule and I have given less than 3 stars to books I wish I had not read and where honest appraisals were not given.
I review ebooks, self-published, and traditionally published work. In fact, I believe one can find gems in self-published work so if you are a self-published author — I’m especially interested in receiving a copy of your work, for review.
As mentioned previously, if I can’t give an author at least 3 stars I won’t write a review (barring rare exceptions) but if you like, I WILL give feedback and thoughts privately both to an author and anyone who asks me.
I hope you enjoy my reviews and that you may profit and become rich with knowledge and self-empowerment.
