Review Policy

When I post a review, it is mainly my thoughts and feelings about the books I read.  They portray the emotions a book brings out in me, the overall enjoyment of the book, and the good and sometimes bad points to a book that I had in my own opinion.  My reviews are also honest and I will not compromise my integrity as a book blogger in posting a good review for a book that is sent to me free of charge. I review every novel that I read, so please be aware that those sometimes include negative reviews, but not in a way to be hateful to the author.

My reviews include cover art, a summary of the book, my personal thoughts about the book, a star rating (which has now changed to martini glasses) and publication details. I also try to post my reviews on GoodReads and Amazon.

My summaries are taken from either Amazon.com, Goodreads.com, the publisher’s website or the Author’s website.

Hard copies will take precedence.  

When I accept a novel to review:

It does not guarantee that the novel will be read, or that I will post a review. If I choose not to write one due to the fact that the book is just not working for me and I am unable to finish it, I will pass it on to another blogger who reviews books in that genre.

Review books are read in a first come, first serve order.  The only exception to this is when a book is failing to capture my interest and it is moved down in the pile by one slot to try one more time.

I am happy to host authors for an interview, guest post or a stop on a blog tour. I also will consider doing a Promotional Post featuring just the book, summary and info on the author if I have the time.  Sometimes I do this on my own, other times authors can contact me through my contact page to ask for this to be hosted.

I am also happy to host a giveaway for a book to aid in promotion.
