About Me

About Me:

Hi there!  I'm Happy Cloud, and I LOVE books.  I started this book blog for the sole purpose to connect with other readers and find out about books I would have never heard of otherwise.  And I really enjoy reviewing books!  

I am a book lover, mother of a 1 year old baby girl (nicknamed Sami), and a proud wife of an indie video game developer.  We live in somewhere in Illinois.  We also have a very charismatic Visula-Lab mix named Harley Quinn who keeps us entertained.


What I Read:

I read a variety of things, but I tend to stick to YA and New Adult.  With that being said, I will read anything across the board within YA (including fantasy, paranormal, contemporary, and horror).  

Some other genres I dabble in are Adult Romance, Adult Contemporary, and Adult Thriller/Suspense. And you will also see some reviews on books from other genres not listed, depending on what speaks to me at the time.


How I Review:

I review a little differently than most, in that I very RARELY give half stars.  It's a whole star or nothing in my world.

5 "Happy Clouds" =  I loved it.  I'd reread it, recommend it, couldn't get enough of it.

4 "Happy Clouds" = I liked it.  I don't know if I would reread it, but I really enjoyed it.

3 "Happy Clouds" = It was okay.  I wanted or expected much more and just didn't find it as enjoyable as I expected it.  If an author I haven't read/reviewed before, I probably won't pick up any 
                                       of their other works.

2 "Sad Clouds" = I didn't like it.  I will list my reasons
on the review.




                  1 "Sad Cloud" = I don't want to say that I will ever 
             "hate" a book, but I really really didn't like the book.
             This is a sign of severe dislike.



Other Notes:

PURCHASED is my way of saying I did not receive this for review. I receive books through family and friends as well as my library, but I also do purchase my own books!! 

If I receive a book for review, my review will ALWAYS state this within the first paragraph of my review.

Amazon links ARE affiliate links, unless otherwise stated. I receive a small compensation if you buy using my link.
