In case you're wondering where we came up with our odd little name and why we've started a book review site, here's a short explanation.
We often dine out at lunch in a neighboring town at a family-run Chinese restaurant (great prices and good eats), and we often talk about books we've read recently and movies we've seen. The managers often write their meal specials on a white board that hangs at the entrance. One time when we came in we noticed the ominous words "No Sushi on Tuesdays" on the white board. Not being big sushi fans ourselves, we took it in stride that Tuesday, but we kept laughing and talking about what a great name "No Sushi Tuesdays" would make for a rock band or even for a book group. So, the name stuck with us until we decided to create this book review blog.
This book review blog is a team effort. We are an eclectic group of book-lovers/bibliophiles who enjoy a good read and enjoy sharing our love of books with others. We thought we'd share some of our great discoveries with the book-loving world, and so No Sushi Tuesdays Book Reviews was born.
Our philosophy of reviewing is a bit different than other review sites. We are not into "slamming" authors or books. If we don't care for a particular title, we simply won't post a review of it. Therefore, the books you read about here are all worthy reads in our humble opinions. We've created a "sushi roll" rating system, but you will seldom see any "one sushi roll" reviews here. Even then, we'll find something we liked about the book enough to share with other readers. We all read widely and will review non-fiction and fiction works alike. We'll even review older titles that we've discovered at the library or at a used bookstore, so our reviews will truly be a mix of old, new and different.
We've decided to keep ourselves anonymous for several reasons, but mostly so no one feels like we're playing favorites or that we're seeking aggrandizement for our reviews. We simply wish to share our love of the written word with the world. At this point in time, we are simply sharing reviews of books we've enjoyed, and we aren't accepting review copies from any sources. That might change in the future, and we will let you know when it does.
Until then, happy reading!
The No Sushi Tuesdays Book Review Team
