About

Welcome!

Scuffed Slippers and Wormy Books is the little corner of the Web where I post my reviews of books, movies, and music (books, far more often than not), talk about knitting, and share the occasional photograph.  My cats Shakespeare and Aphra (RIP: Chaucer (2019) and Dante (2018)) might make appearances, too.

I am a former dancer, a research associate in hospital epidemiology by day, and a bookseller by night.

Happy reading!

Melissa

Review Policy and FTC Disclaimer

I do not accept many books for review because my schedule is erratic. I do not read or review Kindle books or Amazon-sourced products.

Please contact me at balletbooksknitting (at) gmail (dot) com.

I do not give misleading reviews in exchange for free products; therefore, giving me a free item does not guarantee a “postive” review or endorsement. If I received an item for free I acknowledged the source in my review or post.

Any items sent to me for review I dispose of at my own discretion. I may keep an item, I may give it away, or I may sell it. Please note that unedited advance review copies (ARCs or AREs) are never sold because that is unethical; those copies are either kept, given away, or recycled.

I do not participate in any affiliate programs. However, I work for a bookstore. The majority of my product links (provided out of courtesy to the curious reader) are URLs from my bookstore’s website.

I give my personal opinion at all times.
