Review Policy

I am very happy and honored to receive books for review. I will also do author interviews and author guest blogs for those that are interested. I will accept both ARCs and books that have already been released. At this time, I unfortunately cannot accept e-books, only physical books. For ARCs, I will typically post a review during the month the book is released, unless another date is requested. For books that are already released, I will try my best to have them reviewed within four weeks of receiving them. I can promise you to have it reviewed as quickly as possible, if desired.

My reviews consist of:

• A picture of the book's cover
• A summary of the book written in my own words. I can use one from the publisher or sites such as Barnes and Noble upon request. Otherwise, they are all written by me.
  
• My thoughts on the book
• A rating on a scale of 5, including half scores, with a 5 being the best score. My descriptions of the ratings can be seen on my sidebar.

I read many genres, and am very open to reading a variety of books. Below are the genres I read:

• Contemporary fiction
  
• Women's fiction
  
• Chick lit
  
• Romance
  
• Young Adult
  
• Suspense/thrillers
• Mystery
• Urban Fantasy
  
• Paranormal
• Memoirs
• Horror
  
• True crime

I usually don't read historical romance, historical fiction in general, or political/legal fiction, and that's about it as far as my "don't read" category goes. However, I am quite open to all books, so please feel free to inquire about these types of books anyways if you'd like, and based on the book's description, I might be interested.

My reviews are honest but rarely ever harsh. I try to see the good in all books, and even if I do not like a book, I will always try to find something good about it. If I don't like a book, I will say why, and I will also discuss who I think might like that particular book. I will give a low rating if I did not enjoy it, but I will always say why. I rarely ever come across a book I truly dislike though. The majority of the books I read get a 3 or higher as I can usually tell by the book's description if it is something I will like before I decide to read it. However, my reviews are always honest.

If you would like to get in touch, please feel free to e-mail me. I am happy to hear from publishers and authors alike! Thank you for your consideration.
