Review Policy

First of all, I am not a professional reviewer and I am not paid to review books, participate in blog tours or do anything else on my blog. I started blogging in August 2011. I became a book blogger because I had always enjoyed reading and interacting with both authors & other avid readers.

On my blog, I do reviews, author interviews, guest posts, cover reveals, promotional spotlights, excerpts, giveaways, and memes. The memes that do are Saturday Snippets and Through My Letterbox. I also participate in blog tours.

I will always honestly review the books I receive. I will not intentionally write a bad review, but if I didn’t enjoy reading it I will say so.

Whether you are an indie author or a mainstream author, I would be more than happy to promote your book here.

I mainly review books that are YA (Young Adult), Paranormal, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Contemporary Fiction, Dystopian, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, Zombie Comedy, Memoirs and Thrillers.

However, I will NOT review books that are Religious, Classics, Romance or Horror.
Please note that whilst I normally will review the above stated genres, there are exceptions.

I accept both ARCs and finished copies, in the form of Ebooks, Bound books or Audiobooks. The formats I accept are PDFs, PRCs, MOBIs, Paperbacks, Hardbacks, CDs, Mp3s, Mp4s. (I accept Smashwords Coupons, Amazon Gifts and Itunes gifts too.)

I am also a member of both Netgalley and Edelweiss, where I can receive review copies as well.

When myself and my mum (from JeanzBookReadNReview) have both reviewed a bound book that has kindly been sent to us by either the publisher, publicist or author, we swap the book (via the UK Swap Shop on Goodreads) or host a giveaway on our blogs to find the book a new home.  

In my reviews I include the cover art, a summary (usually from Goodreads or from a press release provided by the publisher), my review, if the book is available from Amazon (UK) and how much it is in paperback & kindle e-book where applicable.

At the moment, I only post my reviews on my blog but if you need me to post it somewhere else just let me know.

If you send me an email to request a review, author interview or any other post listed above, and I don’t answer it’s not because I may not want to do that post. I may not have received your email or it might be in spam. I also may not be able to reply to emails within the same week sometimes, due to other commitments.

Due to other commitments, the type & length of the book and my reading speed, my review can take between one week and one month. If you need a special date, let me know and we can try to arrange it.

However, this does not guarantee that I will be able to review your book.

I can be contacted via Twitter, Goodreads and by email at rai29@btinternet.com

If you would like to have your post on a particular date, I would appreciate it if you could notify me of this at least two weeks to a month before the chosen date.

I would also appreciate it if when requesting a review, the length of the book (in pages) and whether or not it is part of a series is stated.

Please bear in mind when you are requesting a review or giveaway, that I am from the United Kingdom.

Thankyou for your time!
