You may wonder why we don’t post reviews more often. Yes, we realize that “Content is king”, and we know that you want to see it all the time.
However, there is so much out there to get our eyes on. We are constantly searching for those literary gems to share with you. They may be from direct submissions, publishers or even an unexpected jaunt to a bookstore. It’s not 24/7 though. We still work our day jobs to feed our families. (Remember this is an unpaid gig. There’s no “pay-to-play” here.)
Anyway, back to my point. We are constantly reading. We receive a lot of submissions, but after reading, most of them don’t meet UnderratedReads’ standards of at least “highly recommended”. And yes, we know it’s all subjective. You may find a book that you consider to be a real find, whereas another reader may be struggling to get a quarter way through the book. We get it.
So, even if you don’t see any new posts from us, it doesn’t mean we’re asleep. We’re still looking for exceptional books and literature to share with you and the search is constant. Please be patient.
