Dear readers,
Do you wonder why it takes us so long to post reviews and why there is so much time between posts?
I assure you that we’re still reading, searching for those literary gems to share with you. Unfortunately, most of them don’t meet UnderratedReads’ standards of at least “highly recommended.” So, even though we’ve read many books, we’re not going to waste your time by sharing some of them with you. That way, when we do post a review, you can rest assured that at least one reviewer highly recommended the book.
Specifically, to our authors/publicists/publishers: If one of our reviewers can’t “get into” a book by the first few chapters, I instruct them to put it aside…for good. Please remember this when you submit a request, and we agree to “read and possibly review your book”. No reviewer gets paid by our site; it’s a labor of love. Also, please read our “FAQ” before submitting.
You may find a book that you consider to be a real find, whereas another reader may be struggling to get a quarter the way through the book. We know it’s all subjective and our staff of reviewers realizes that too.
So, even if you don’t see anything new for a while, that doesn’t mean we’re asleep. It means that we’re still looking for great content to share with you. Please be patient.
