Welcome to “ThisIsMyTruthNow” where I’ve created a portal to all the things worth talking about during the course of a day. Life’s too short to focus on all the negatives… so let’s embrace what makes us happy and find a way to get lost together in this journey. Below is a brief description of each major menu item:

• About
  • An overview of the site, the author, the menu structure and how to contact me
  • Click here for a list of definitions for each star rating on the 1 to 5 scale — used for all reviews
• 365 Daily Challenge
  • If you’re brave, you’re sure to find an embarrassing confessional of a characteristic or story about me revealed each day
  • Click here to get started on my little world of crazy; take the poll to see if we’re alike
• Book Reviews
  • A collection of ~900 book reviews (as of August 2019) from every major book genre. I choose books based on a variety of tastes. I will occasionally accept a request to review a book, but my reading queue is usually booked ~3 months in advance on when I will be available.

  • Find book reviews by genre, author, & series
  • A page for every author and the books I’ve read, organized by Genre, then Author (Alphabetically)

  • Contains book blitzes, blog tours, cover reveals, and other alerts and spotlights.
