About My Reviews
I post honest reviews... If I do not like a book, my review will say as such. I am not a professional reviewer and will not accept compensation in any way in exchange for a review.
Reviews are not guaranteed, but are likely. I try my best to keep my review pile manageable, but there are times when books fall through the cracks. Because this blog is a hobby and not my job, I reserve the right to leave a review book unfinished. Generally, if I book has not grabbed me by 1/4 of the way in, I will not finish it or review it.
Usually, I will not read books out of sequence. If you would like me to review a book that is part of a series I have not read, please provide the predecessors.This allows for a much more effective review.
I cross post my reviews on Amazon and Goodreads in addition to my blog.
Requesting A Review
When requesting a review, please send me the following information: Title of the book, author(s), enre(s), a cover image, a summary of the book, and related links (Amazon, Goodreads, Author Blog, Publisher Links, etc.).
