About Me
Hi there! Thank you so much for visiting my website Red Headed Book Lover! You probably found yourself here because you would like to know more about the ‘Red Headed Book Lover,’ and if you do then you are in the right place! My name is Aimee, and I created Red Headed Book Lover so that I could share reviews for books I have loved with fellow book lovers as well as help authors showcase their work.
Creating Red Headed Book Lover was the greatest decision I have ever made because along the way I have met so many book lovers as well as worked with authors from all over the world which has been such a wonderful experience! I adore meeting book lovers and authors and love learning more about both and so I, in turn, am going to share more about me so you can get to know me better! However, I will try not to bore you with the details of my life so I will try to keep this short and sweet.
All you really need to know about me is that my name is Aimee and I am a passionate reviewer who adores helping authors from all over the world! My interests of course include reading and reviewing… lots of it! Ever since I was a young girl I have been book obsessed and whenever I have the chance to, I pick up a book and love getting lost in it.
Now that is a little about me! However if you want to chat or just want to know more about me! Then you can always email me in my contact form! I adore meeting fellow book lovers as well as meeting authors so come by and say hi! I would love to hear from you.
For a long time I have been asked questions by readers as well as authors, and so I have created a list below which answers the most frequently asked questions so here are my answers book lovers and authors!
Why are all of your reviews so positive?!
This is a question I get asked frequently and one I actually love to answer. As I am sure you can tell by now I am a very positive person and hate negativity. That is why I have chosen only to post reviews of books I genuinely love and have given four of five stars too. I, of course, have read many books (probably too many!) that are not so great; however, I do not see the point in me reviewing the book. I do not think it is necessary as I would have to spend time writing a review, editing it, posting it and so on and the review would just consist of why I disliked the book. I personally do not feel that this is wise, but it is also not kind to the author. Authors work really hard to ensure they produce a great book and sometimes they won’t succeed; however, I do not feel their name should be tarnished for this. I do believe in private, constructive criticism if asked for however; I do not believe in sharing negative reviews online. Besides! I like to keep my website a happy, optimistic and lively place where book lovers can unite, so only positivity is allowed!
Will you review my book?
This is a question I get asked a lot and the short answer is yes, if I feel that I would enjoy and love your book and other readers will too then I would love to review it. Reading is my passion, and I love the art of literature and the written word, and I love reviewing just as much as I loved reading. That is why I adore reviewing books for authors, whether the author is self-published or traditionally published.
On my website, I have a strong focus on making sure that self-published novels are reviewed, and that is why 98% of my reviews are for self-published books. I truly respect self-published authors and think that many indie authors are incredible however many big-name publishers will not give them a chance which makes me sad. This is actually one of the many reasons why I created Red Headed Book Lover so that I could share indie books with readers as many traditional forms of media/advertising do not give indie authors the opportunity. So if you are an indie author or a published author, I would love to hear from you and learn more about your book, so please email me on one of the many contact forms on my page as I would love to hear from you!
My About Me page is dedicated mostly to me on a personal level however if you are interested in a review, please do visit my services page here: Services, as well as my Testimonials page here: Testimonials so you can learn more about what I do.
Disclaimer* All services on my website are paid for; my website is a paid reviewing service and more information about this can be found on my Services page as well as my Terms of Service page which are both linked.
Who designed your website?
Surprisingly this is a frequently asked question, and I always love sharing who did design my website as his work is excellent! I should mention at this point that I am in no way an affiliate of this web developer/designer, I received no free work, have no affiliate ties and have not been told to share this information, I just genuinely love his website design.
My website designer is Mike at MB-Sites, and he builds customized websites for users of WordPress. What I love about Mike’s service is that he listens to everything you would like, even down to the most delicate details and provides exactly what you want/envisioned. I confess book lovers that I messaged poor Mike so many times about little things I would like, and he has done everything I wanted and was patient along the way which is professional and a service I am happy to pay for. If you are interested in finding a web designer/developer then his website is: MB-Sites and his email is: info@mb-sites.com. Just to clarify again book lovers and authors these are not affiliate links and I have no marketing affiliation with MB-Sites; just love the service!

Hi, Thank you for following. I am following your blog and Instagram.
Hi there! Thank you so much for commenting (:
Aww thank you! What are your handles I will follow you too! (:
I can relate to the book-obsessed among us…reading and writing are my 2 biggest passions after all. Thanks for stopping by and following my blog and liking “Next Exit.” I will definitely be checking out your book reviews (and hopefully adding some new ones to my already-bursting ereader library). Have a great day!
Hi there! Thank you so much for commenting that is so kind of you!
Reading and writing really are amazing and I don’t know what I would do if I was never able to read again! I just love exploring different life’s and worlds (: aww and you are so welcome! You have a wonderful blog. I hope you find some good books! Thanks again (:
Trouble isn’t finding great books, but rather the time to read them! Hope to cross paths again soon…;-)
Haha yes! Definitely. There is just not enough time in the world to read!
Put writing on top of that, and even less! 😉
Thanks for the compliment re: the blog…started it a few years ago, but I almost feel like it just started! I’ve tasked myself with writing SOMETHING every day/every other day. Let’s hope I can keep it up…;-)
I look forward to keep up with all of your posts (: I try to post every day also but sometimes it is so hard!
Thanks so much for the comment and the follow!!!
Aww you’re so welcome! I can’t wait to see more of your stuff (:
Thanks for the like and follow at my blog. I’m now following you here and at Twitter. Looking forward to reading your book reviews. I’m always reading in my spare time, which tends to interfere with my writing schedule.
Aww you are so welcome your blog and writing is wonderful (: and aww thank you I hope you like them!
Hello, and thank you for following me! I’m going to look through some more of your book reviews. I like the one I read on Room; what a haunting story! I appreciate your insight that the story was a victim/victor story, rather than a perpetrator story. It makes such a difference, and it takes more skill to write, quite honestly. A couple of my kids are in the process of writing books right now. Maybe you could review those one day. 🙂 I’m curious, what made you like my post? Lately, they’ve been like journal entries that I write to… Read more »
What a lovely comment this is so lovely thank you so much Victoria!
Thank you for saying you liked my review of Room! Have you read the book? I adore it and I think you would too, especially with you being a mum!
(:
I adore journal entires and if you look at my Gone Girl review of swimming lessons you will now how obsessed I am with that form of writing lol.
Also don’t be hard on yourself! I think your writing is great (:
Can’t wait to hear back from you and that is so amazing how your children write! I would definitely review their books one day (:

Kind Regards
Mike

Just found the time to surf your site. Looks awesome!
Your intro is awesome! little self promotion- you may like my novel Deity’s Soulmate. The main characters are Greek Gods…and dragons – okay done.
Okay, onto checking out the rest of your site. ^_^
Aww this is the loveliest comment ever thank you so much!!!
Do you have Twitter or Instagram? I would love to follow you and talk with you more or you can always email me (:
It is so lovely to meet fellow mums so this is your first baby?! I have four so I consider myself a pro lol. If you ever need any help please let me know and ooo… your novel does sound good. Email me and we can discuss me reviewing it for you (:
We’re already friends on Twitter
He’s wonderful. He’s starting to ‘agoo’ though its hard to record him. It’s like he knows that my cell is a camera.
I will email you now about my book. ^_^
So sorry I am useless with twitter names etc lol. How lovely!! It is the most amazing feeling in the world isn’t it?! Oh my god my second baby did that all the time. Even when he first started walking I got my phone and he stopped!
Absolutely good. I don’t know the twitter names either. I just tend to like the tweets from time to time.
I think that when we’re still carrying them, they see through our eyes and know what a cell phone does. Little devils haha! ^_^
Lol.
yeah no kidding!
It should change for you though hopefully (:
Great! (:
