Book Review Policy

Thank you for your interest in having your book spotlighted on Crazy-for-Books.  I am currently accepting books for review from authors, publishers, and publicists with no time-frame (which means, no deadline to have a review posted).

Books I am currently accepting for review:

  • Contemporary fiction/women’s fiction/Literary Fiction
  • Historical Fiction (last 100 years or so, especially those centered around World War II) – WWII historical fiction is my current favorite genre.
  • Some Memoirs (depends on content)
  • Christian Fiction and Non-Fiction, including Bible Studies, Christian Living, and Spiritual Growth

If any of the above books fall into any genre below, I will not accept it for review.  For example, if you have a contemporary fiction novel with elements of paranormal, I will not accept it for review.

Books I am NOT accepting for review:

  • Paranormal/Witchcraft/Sorcery or any variation of this theme
  • Fantasy
  • Science Fiction
  • Non-Fiction, including Self-Help, How-To Manuals, Fitness/Nutrition, etc.
  • Romance
  • Erotica
  • Young Adult
  • Children’s Books, including Middle Grade
  • Poetry
  • Graphic Novels
  • Manga
  • Mystery/Suspense/Thriller
  • Romantic Suspense

Notes:
I DO NOT read series books out of order!
Please do not send me your pitch and ask me to purchase your book.

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.

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, BN, 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.  I do not receive money for such reviews.  The books are sent to me for an honest review.  I will make known in such reviews if I received the book for free.  If you have any questions, please contact me.

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).
