Review Policy

I would be honored if an author or publisher asked me to review a book. I accept Young Adult and Middle Grade books.

I accept print ARCS. I prefer reading books in print because I don’t want digital eye strain and reading is a way for me to ‘unplug’ from technology.

I am not accepting e-books or audiobooks.

Accepting Books

If I accept a book, I will have post a review of it on my blog. I will also post a picture of the book on to my Instagram. If there is a specific time-frame you’d like me to review a book please let me know. I will do my best to get the review posted.

I will respond to every review request even if I’m not interested.

Reviews

My reviews will include the basic information of the book such as title, author, page count, synopsis, star rating, and my thoughts. There may be quotes, pictures, and more. Each review is different.

I try to create an activity or challenge from every book I read. For example, if a book had twin sisters as characters, I’d make a quiz to see which sister is more like me or anyone who comes upon the quiz. I did make a challenge for a book. Click here to see it (scroll down).

I rate all my books on a scale of one to five, five being the highest. If I don’t like a book, I would continue to write a review based on that. I won’t put nasty comments or attack the author. If I don’t like a book, I’d still recommend it to those who do like that type of book or genre.

If you want me to add anything else to a review, I’d do it.
All of my reviews are 100% honest and come from me.
