Rating Books

I thought I’d share an explanation of how I rate novels and poetry for anyone who is curious or follows my ratings/reviews.

POETRY:
What I seek in all poetry I read is emotion, the author’s journey, their story. If I get what I’m looking for, it’s a five-star rating. I don’t put much emphasis on structure or syntax. I typically don’t rate poetry anything other than five stars because it’s all worthw Read more of this blog post »

April Seymour added a status update: Blind Date with a Billionaire: Fiji is live! This is the first release of my new travel romance series of short, interconnected standalone novels, great as palate cleansers and beach reads. This book in the series features "reverse" grumpy-sunshine, a dash of spice, and overall lighthearted vibes.

April Seymour liked Rachel's review of The Gatekeeper: "Loved this one! Definitely my favorite of Seymour’s novels! This was only my second time reading a psychological thriller and I feel like it encapsulated that genre so well. I loved that the author used two different POV’s for each character. It fit " Read more of this review »

April’s Quotes

“But there’s nothing wrong with knowing what you want in a partner and striving for it. Life’s too short. You’ve got to be honest with yourself about the sort of life you want, the sort of person you’d like to spend it with. As long as you’re kind to the people around you, which you are, you should be true to yourself.”
― Paige Toon, Only Love Can Hurt Like This
