You can find my reviews at two locations other than here: Goodreads, and if they’re ARCs, NetGalley. My older reviews are on Amazon, but I haven’t posted reviews there in the last few years because their censorship process fucking sucks, and I don’t have time to edit my reviews until they’re perfectly polite and resubmit them multiple times until they’re deemed worthy. Fuck you, Amazon.
