Bookshelves and Teacups
If you are on the lookout for a good, honest reviewer for your book, I'd like to recommend Tissie from Bookshelves and Teacups.
Tissie was responsive, easy to work with and detailed in her assessment.
She's so good, I'm actually recruiting her to edit my next Good Tale, as she is a professional editor as well! *fingers crossed she says yes*
