To request a review of your book by I SOLEMNLY SWEAR or to request more information about this blog, its reviews or ratings, please email us at issbookreviews@yahoo.com

*All books given for review will be read within a time frame agreed upon by ISS and the author and an honest review will be given. For any book rated less than 3 stars, the author/publisher/promoter will be given advance notice, and if they so wish, a review on this blog will not be published. A rating on Goodreads with a brief summary of the rating will, however, be posted, regardless of star rating being below three.

My Ratings System:
0/★ - Hated it/DNF
★★ - Didnt really like it
★★★ - It was good/some issues
★★★★ - Really liked it
★★★★★+ - LOVED IT!

For clarification, though some people use a three star rating for something they LIKED and a 2 star rating for something that was OK, I am a middle of the road kind of girl. Everything starts off at a neutral level (3 stars) and gravitates from there. If I'm feeling kind of "eh" about the book, that to me would seem as though I didnt like it but I didn't dislike it either, which would fall right in the middle. Anything less than three means I didnt like it. Anything more means I did. Three itself means I kind of shrugged at it, but enjoyed it enough that I found some things to praise about it. I've never given a 0/1 star review, and I hardly give 2's. In that same vein, I hardly give 5's. So if I've given your book a certain rating and you don't know why, I hope this helps clarify it for you! :)
