I am currently accepting Young Adult & Middle Grade as well as New Adult & Adult.
I do review books from indie-pubbed authors as long as they are in the genres I read, as stated above and below 🙂
***
- I LOVE books set in non-Western cultures and/or featuring diverse casts (LGBTQ, POC, disabled characters, etc…)
- I accept ARCs, finished copies, and digital copies (I prefer Kindle formatted books but PDFs are okay).
- ~If the book is not the first book in a series of books I may need the previous books in order to do a thorough review.
- I do NOT accept horror books. I don’t mind, for example, Urban Fantasy books with some graphic imagery such as two favorites of mine: The Elemental Assassin Series and the Anita Blake Series.
- I do NOT accept audio books.
- I do NOT except erotica (I also don’t want really racy NA, I know erotica & NA aren’t the same, but my blog caters to a younger audience as well as I like to keep things PG/PG-13/17)
I do NOT accept overly preachy religious books -books with religion in them/religious themes are fine for instance I loved the Canaan Trilogy by Marek Halter.
I do NOT accept pure romance books – books with romantic themes are fine…I prefer my romance with a bite, ex. the Night Huntress Series but if you think I’ll like it, contact me, the worst is that I say no.
***
~Currently I will write a review for every book I get unless there are extenuating circumstances.
- If circumstances arise that prevent me from reading a book/writing a review (other than me not liking the book) then I will notify you ASAP.
~I prefer to recieve books 1 month before the date you would like the book review to be published.
- I am willing to make exceptions so it’s best just to email me 🙂
~My reviews will also be tweeted, posted on my Tumblr, Facebook Page, and Goodreads.
- If you want the review posted on Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com please request that in your email
~I write reviews as honestly and objectively as I can.
- My reviews are my opinions and as such if I did not like a book then that will be reflected in my review.
~I will never write a rude or demeaning review.
- If I give a book a low rating I will always to explain why I personally did not like the book in a separate paragraph.
If for some reason I do not finish the book, I will write a paragraph or two explaining why.

• Cover art
