**As of June 2021, I am not accepting review requests until further notice.”

This blog is focused mainly on YA. While I do read more genre’s, reviews are preferable to stay with YA, fantasy, historical, select romance or science fiction, thriller and contemporary.

I will accept only one book to review from each author. I will not be accepting Middle Grade books, I do not see the need to review their content. I am very honest in my reviews. While I am kind and positive, I will state aspects I did or did not like. Books over 375 pages will not be accepted due to time commitment. I reserve the right to not finish a book and I will notify the author. I do not want to finish a book, only to give it a small rating. You have spent too much time, effort and money to have me dislike it when someone else might love it.

I prefer a physical copy of the book for reviews, however, an audio or ebook is also sufficient. I will stage a picture for physical books on my Instagram and Facebook, but at least one picture will be done for each review regardless of which format I receive.

I regularly post to Instagram, Facebook, Goodreads and my blog. I am willing to post to Amazon when requested, however, keep in mind that Amazon usually prefers reviews to be from “verified buyer’s.” If I review your book, I will post to these platforms.

Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions. If sending me a book, please send me an email stating that you agree to these terms. Thank you for considering me!
