Rebecca, here. I love a good definitions section or “glossary”, especially in a book or on a website. If you’re unfamiliar with any of the terms used on Velvet Opus, here’s a glossary – I hope you find it useful.
Book Lengths:
Velvet Opus book reviews feature books of various lengths and I wanted to give you a guide reading time based on page length. However, this may vary depending on factors like the font size and your reading speed.
Really short: less than 80 pages (<2.5 hours)

Affiliate: You will see that Velvet Opus links to outside sources (other websites and services). These links are referred to as affiliate links which means I could earn money if you end up clicking on one and and purchase/sign up for that product/offer. The money earned is a little extra income so I can continue doing what I love: talking about my love of books and hopefully inspiring you to love books too. If you purchase through one of these links, it is greatly appreciated and I thank you so much!
Diversity: Velvet Opus is a female-led website which supports female authors and stories that have strong female representation. Velvet Opus supports diversity in writing and storytelling with Black, POC, LGBT+ authors and stories.
Goodreads: Goodreads is the worlds largest site for readers and book recommendations. I review mostly everything I read on Goodreads – the good and the not-so-good. Why not add me as a friend?
Indie Spotlight: A good story is a good story, regardless of how it’s published. I spotlight books that I loved, and I hope you’ll love too, on Velvet Opus. This year I took part in Self-Published Fantasy Month with Velvet Opus Interviews Kassandra Flamouri and a review of Flamouri’s self-published dark ballet fantasy The Chalice and the Crown. You can also check out the entire list on my dedicated Goodreads shelf.
