Review Policy/Contact Me

Review Policy:
I love to read many different genres - there are actually very few that I don't like. It usually takes me between 3-6 weeks to review a book, though if the book is really long or if I am having a hard time concentrating on the book it may take me longer. Each review starts with a summary of the book being reviewed (from the back of the book, Goodreads.com or sometimes I will summarize it myself), my rating of the book, my thoughts on the book (what I liked and/or didn't like) and then I will usually put the websites of the publisher and author at the end of my reviews along with any disclaimer.

I accept published and pre-published (ARC) books in the following formats:  printed books, audiobooks and e-books (Kindle format).When offered a choice between an e-book or a printed book, I prefer the latter.

I usually post my reviews on my blog, GoodReads and Amazon. I also sometimes post reviews to Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, LibraryThing, and Christian Book. If asked, I will post a review to any of those sites and if there is another site on which you would like me to post a review, just let me know and I will try to post it there:)

The genres I will accept are: 

• Christian fiction^
• Historical fiction^
• Contemporary fiction
• Regency romance (including Jane Austen sequels and retellings)^
• YA fiction
• Mystery
• Thriller
• Science fiction (occasionally)
• Fantasy
• Paranormal (sometimes)
• Romance^
• Action (sometimes)
• Children's books (occasionally)
• Non-fiction (Cookbooks, Self-helps, Bible study guides, Hobby/Craft books, Bibles, Biographies, History, Memoirs, Devotionals, Dieting books, Exercising books and Health books)

^ - Favorite genres.

The genres I won't accept are:

• Erotica
• GLBT
• Poetry (though I won't accept poetry to review, I would be willing to do a guest post or a book spotlight on it)

***If I overlooked a genre and it's not listed on the genres that I won't accept, just send me the info. I love reading different genres, and to find a new one would be great.***

My rating system:

1 star - Just couldn't get into it, found it offensive and/or more than likely I hated it.

2 stars - It was so-so, parts were okay and other parts weren't.

3 stars - It was okay but nothing really captured my interest, lukewarm.

4 stars - I really enjoyed it, but probably not one that I'll read again.

5 stars - I absolutely loved it, a must read, one that I'll read again!
