First, we want to wish all our readers a safe New Year filled with love and happiness throughout 2020 and beyond!
Second, 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.
Here comes the reminder. 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, at least not knowingly.)
Anyway, back to my point. We get a lot of submissions, but most of them don’t meet UnderratedReads’ standards of at least “highly recommend”. 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.
