  • Please do not send me your pitch and ask me to purchase your book.
  • I am not currently accepting self-published books for review

Review Requests:

If your book falls into one of the above categories, please fill out the form below with the pertinent details.  If I accept your novel for review, it does not guarantee that I will post a review. I do review every book I read, but I cannot guarantee that my review will be positive.  I give my honest thoughts and opinions on the book, from MY perspective. I am not a professional book reviewer. I am a regular gal who loves to read. I do try to be respectful toward the author regarding my thoughts about the book. I ask the same courtesy in return.

About my Review Posts:

Included in my review posts are:  book cover art, publication details (genre, page count, ISBN, etc.), my personal review with my personal star rating (from Crazy Bad to Crazy Amazing – see below).

Cross-Posting of Reviews:

I typically cross-post my reviews on Goodreads, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Paperbackswap.  If you would like your review posted elsewhere, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

Stats:

My blog receives about 6,500-7,000 hits and 12,000 page views per month (based on SiteMeter.com count).

FTC Disclosure:

In accordance with new FTC guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials for bloggers, I would like my readers to know that many of the books I review on my site are provided to me for free by the publisher or author of the book.  The books are sent to me for an honest review, therefore my review may be positive or negative.  I do not receive monetary compensation for writing a review. I will make known in such reviews if I received the book for free.  If you have any questions, please contact me.

I am an Amazon.com affiliate and I receive a small commission if you click through my Amazon affiliate links and make any purchase on their website.

E-Books:

I prefer to receive your book in e-book format, if at all possible. I have a NookColor e-reader and an iPad, so please be sure that your book comes in a format that is compatible with either of these devices (I have Kindle for iPad, so I can now accept that format).
