About Captured by Chapters

What you’ll find

You’ll find honesty. I’ve read every book on this blog. Maybe I read it out loud with a kiddo. Or listened to the audiobook. Or read it while tuning out Ryan’s World on my phone to keep a kiddo happy. I’ve read it.

You’ll find only books I luh-huved or really, really liked. Books I’d give as gifts or pass along for someone else. Books I’ve recommended to someone else before your peepers have read the post.

Therefore…

You’ll find positive reviews with very little criticism (if any). I have no problem passing on a book after the first few chapters if I don’t really like it or love it. Nobody has time for that biz. I want to keep a positive note on this space in the web world. And trust me when I say I’m no English major or grammarian (bless you, fine folks). But gawd, do I love catching grammar issues or little glitches in books. I’m waving my nerd flag proudly here.
