What qualifies in each category? Let me explain how a book might be included...
Something old: I may decide a book belongs here because it's, well, old. Maybe it was written [insert old sounding number here] years ago. Perhaps it's a book I read awhile ago, and have decided to revisit. It's possible that I checked out a book from the library that just has that old book smell. This is also the category where any classics will likely be reviewed.
​
Something new: This category will have it all. All the genres, all the characters, all the topics. The only criteria is that it's new...to me. Meaning I haven't read it before. A book might find it's way here if it's an author I've just discovered, a book I've just been given, or a book that's been re-imagined or given new cover-art. There's no shortage of "new" books here (my shelf is full of new-to-me books that have been there...er, awhile).
​
Something steamy: Does this category need any explanation? Here you'll find the romance. The light, fun, walk-in-the park love stories. The dark, spicy, hide-the-book from your kids covers. Not sure if you want as much "steam"? Don't worry-I'll make sure to rate the romance level so you'll know if it matches your style.
​
Something true-ish. Ish. Three little letters that pack a big punch. Those words mean everything. While books here will include elements of truth or history, more often than not, they will still be fiction. The bulk of the books here will be historical fiction, although an occasional non-fiction or biography might be found.
I reserve the right to categorize any and all books as I want, even if it doesn't make sense to anyone else. Happy reading!
