Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog

Hiya! Welcome to Birdbrain(ed) Book Blog. I'm Anastasia, and I'm the head honcho around here. I review books, talk about book-related things, and occasionally have something witty to say regarding the publishing industry.

If you want me to review your book, check out my review policy first.
Note: I am NOT accepting books for review for the next several months. See here for why that is.

Rating Guide

5 birds = Loved it!
4 birds = Liked it a lot.
3 birds = Not bad, but I probably won't reread it.
2 birds = Mostly bad, but had some merit.
1 bird = Horrible. Probably hated it.
Half-birds = steps between ratings.

What’s “Beach Read”?

Beach reads are books you can read at the beach. It's what I'm using instead of "chick lit" or "women's lit," because I hate those terms. Yeah, books labeled "chick lit" tend to be fluffier than some other books, but that doesn't mean they're only for women nor that they're not worth reading (which is what I think some people assume when they see a book labeled "chick lit"). Anyone can have fun reading a beach book, so I'm using that term instead.
