Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

As a mood reader, I love reading various genres, but historical fiction, literary fiction, historical romance, fantasy, fantasy romance, and science fiction are my absolute favorites that I seem to come back to the most. I pick books that intrigue me — whether it’s a captivating blurb, an author I adore, or a genre that’s caught my eye.

I aim to spotlight books that I genuinely enjoy, but if something doesn’t click for me, I’ll share why. Honesty’s key in my reviews!

Oh, it’s a balancing act! I prioritize based on release dates and commitments, but sometimes a compelling read throws off my schedule (in the best way!).

Just START! Review the books you’re already reading. Be true to your taste, engage with the book community, and don’t be afraid of your voice — your uniqueness is your power.

Yes! I’m open to requests, especially if they align with my preferred genres. But it’s essential that there’s a mutual fit for both of us.

Of course, I embrace my preferences but strive to review books objectively. Even if a book ends up not being my usual cup of tea, I aim to understand and appreciate its merits. I have years of experience as a professional editor and reviewer that has allowed me to reach a point where I can provide useful feedback/critiques while still highlighting well-done elements of a book.

If I had to pick one, I would say historical fiction is my favorite (though is that really a surprise for a historian?)! But honestly, I’m a mood reader — my favorite changes depending on the day.

Absolutely! I love championing indie authors and finding hidden gems in the self-published world. Quality storytelling knows no bounds!

When creating Literaria Luminaria, I wanted to select a name that tied back to my background as a historian, reflected my love of historical fiction, and wasn’t already associated with someone else. Thus, Literaria Luminaria, or “Literary Luminary,” was established — meaning “a person who enlightens or influences others” in literature!
