Who is Sharon Beyond The Books?

I was born in Oldham in 1971. I am a married mum with 2 daughters and a son and a nan of 6 gorgeous grandkids.

From being little, I have always had a passion for books, and over the past three or four years , I have written hundreds of book reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and here on my WordPress blog. My followers, including those on Twitter, have steadily increased and I now receive offers from publishers and authors alike to participate in the promotion and reviewing of their books.

The reason I started doing these blog tours was to help get the word out about all these brilliant books from often less well-known, independent authors or those from smaller publishers. What started as a hobby has now almost become a full-time endeavour. It has been a very satisfying journey, knowing I have helped, and I am still helping people get their names out there.

Due to family bereavement, I am taking a break from the blog until the new year.

The majority of my reviews are given from, usually, gifted proof copies of books, from either a tour organiser or publisher. I must state categorically that every review is from my own unbiased and honest opinion AND I won’t publish any reviews I feel are under 3 stars.
