The Phantom Paragrapher's Page-Turning Protocol




Welcome to The Phantom Paragrapher:

Looking for your next great read? Look no further than The Phantom Paragrapher! We're your one-stop-shop for book recommendations, covering everything from Amish Fiction to Demons and Fallen Angels, Chick Lit to Non-Fiction, and everything in between. No matter what age group you're shopping for, we've got you covered: Children's Books, Tweens, Teens/YA, New Adult, and Adult fiction are all within our wheelhouse. So if you're looking for your next literary adventure, shoot us an email at paulazone@live.com and let's get started!

Genres - Although I'm open to most genres, including a book synopsis in your review request is crucial for me to make a decision



Age/Publication Date - I accept books for all age groups - children, teens, and adults - and the year of publication is not a concern.


Links - Please send any specific picture, link, or book trailer that you would like to be included with your enquiry.



Guest Posts - I welcome guest posts of 250-500 words along with book reviews, just let me know in your email.



Donations - Donations are accepted via email at paulazone@live.com to help expand the site internationally and cover costs such as competition postage and book review time.




Note to ALL AUTHORS - Please be aware that as book reviewing is a passion and not my full-time job, I aim to review at least three books per week but if you need your book reviewed by a certain date for promotional purposes, please let me know in your email and I will do my best to schedule it accordingly.



DNF - For books that may not have been my cup of tea and I couldn't quite finish, I kindly rate them with two stars on Goodreads and choose not to leave a review. I believe that every reader has their own preferences and not every book is meant for everyone. Thank you for your understanding.





Cross-Platforms/Social Media Coverage - As a dedicated reader and reviewer, I am committed to sharing my thoughts on the books I read with others. In order to reach as many potential readers as possible, all of my reviews will be posted on multiple platforms, including Goodreads, Amazon, and BookBub. Additionally, I will be sharing my reviews on several social media sites, including Instagram (@NZGeekChic), Facebook (PParagrapher7), and Twitter (@beau_angelnz). By sharing my reviews in these various places, I hope to help connect readers with the books they will love, while also supporting the authors who pour their hearts into their work.




Review Ratings - "The Phantom Scale" - Great news! I have now implemented a fun and unique rating system for all the books reviewed on my site. It's important to note that every book on my site will receive a rating of 3 or higher, which means that even the lowest-rated books are still worth checking out. So come along and discover some new reads with me!




 An Average Read . Can be a Hit or Miss.


     A great read that I guarantee everyone should give a go.



                            An excellent read that everyone should add to your TBR Piles.


If a book has this star, it means it is a Highly recommended read. That means that it exceeds the normal 5P rating system.

    Hello!
    I'd love to connect and collaborate with you (somehow!)
    My work outlines practical and creative ideas inspired by love in the quest for wellbeing.
    In Fit for Joy, I wrote about the paradox of two realities that don’t match: physical health and mental chaos. The idea was to start a conversation about the “true” meaning of health. 
    As a podcast host, I am in search of meaningful truths, ideas, and insights about mental and spiritual health that can awaken new ways of thinking, leading us toward a new way of being — Being Well." 
    Would you be interested in any or a combination of:
    - A podcast interview: A Quest for Well-Being- Guest blogging- Book review or book review exchange
    Much Love,Valeria

    Your blogs are amazing! Great detail without basically rewriting the blurbs, and with your own POV of it. Love it! I definitely need to read more.
    Im looking to start a book blog here soon. Definitely need somewhere to start listen my reviews as I go. Any insight on the best note taking while reading e-ARCs?

      Hi @CydTheScienceKid - thanks for the comments, I guess you could use the note aspect on your phone. For me, i have never needed to take notes while reading as I happen to have one of those memories that I rememeber what I read. So I just note down the title , author and my own rating. I also note where I got the book from as I do a lot of different ARCS and tour companies. The only rare times I do jot something down is if there is a quote or line that strongly reasonates with me. I have also been known to take photos of the page, If i want to reference it later.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
