Hello and thank you for stopping by The Inky Whisk. I am a former Public Library collection development professional with a serious addiction to books and advance book galleys. I read a little bit of everything but you will primarily find Mysteries and SciFi on this site.When I am not reading I am cooking, or fussing over fountain pens, or fawning over stationery and inks. Or knitting. No surprises here!
I love talking about books almost as much as I love reading them. I started The Inky Whisk to share some of the great titles I have read lately (and to be a little indulgent about other interests.) I’ll be honest, you won’t see scathing reviews on this blog – I’m not interested in tearing anyone’s work down. If I read it and didn’t like it I just won’t mention it. This is more a book recommendation than review blog.

Review Policy
I read and review the books that interest me. Some titles I receive as galleys from the publisher through NetGalley and Edelweiss. I read galleys primarily to help me at my job and, as stated above, I like to share some of the titles I enjoyed. I do not accept books or galleys with the expectation that I will review them, favorably or otherwise.

A Note About Publication Dates
I live in the U.S. so publication dates I cite will (most of the time) be for that title’s release here. A particular book may have been out for a while where you are, but I base the dates I use on the ISBN of the edition I read. That edition is most often a galley for U.S. publication.
