I love reviewing books and hearing from authors, publishers, and publicists. Please feel free to contact me with books you would like me to review.
​
What will I review?
I will review almost anything. I will not review erotica, text books, steamy sex scenes, or anything with excessive profanity but I am open to review almost anything else. I read all types of fiction, biographies, poetry, and self help books. I review books by indie authors and children's books. My absolute favorites are young adult fantasy/paranormal type stuff with a romantic sub-plot. Yes, I'm one of those.
​
What should you expect if I review your book?
I generally read about 1 book/week (I am a one person show here with a little help from my 12 year old son). There may be a few months until I'm able to review it though. I have a large TBR pile, but I am normally pretty flexible if you have a deadline or book tour. If you need it reviewed by a certain date then I will consider it. If there is any criticism to be had, I will try to make it as constructive as possible.
This is important - sometimes I begin reading a book, but realize it's not for me and just can't continue (DNF - Did Not Finish). Instead of posting a review on half the book or saying something negative, I end up not reviewing it at all.
​
Where do I post my reviews?
I post my reviews on my blog, Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, and Amazon. If you have somewhere special you would like for me to post a review then I will consider it.
​
Miscellaneous
I love it when authors want to guest post, participate in interviews, offer giveaways, or anything else your creative mind comes up with. I will also supply links of the preferred location to buy a book or to authors' personal blogs/websites if desired.
Also, we have some teen reviewers. If you'd prefer one of them to review your book, they will consider it. Be patient with them, because they are also in school and their parents feel that is more important. They often review books they are already having to read for class. To send in a request for one of them, still send it to me. Just let me know it's a request for one of the teens. I'll get back to you if one of them decides to review your book or interview you.
Formats:
I prefer mobi (Kindle) or paperback. I will supply the mailing address when asked. If one of the teenagers agreed to review your book, then they will need a paperback copy or an audiobook.
