do not post DNF reviews on my blog however I do post a short reason why on Goodreads.

Your Request:

Please provide with me the cover art/link to available cover, synopsis, publication date and a link to where I can read more about the book(goodreads/amazon) via email. Please also keep in mind if an email copy of your book is sent with the request this does not assume I will review it. I choose to accept requests at my own discretion, bearing in my mind whether it will be a good match for my blog and whether it is a something I feel I would enjoy.

If you require a certain time frame for the book to be reviewed please include that in the request. Otherwise reviews are posted within one week of the publication date.

Unfortunately I will not review a series out of order.  Please confirm I have read the previous books in the series prior to submitting your request.

Rating System:

I stick closely to the Goodreads rating system so it is easier for me to post my reviews and have the rating translate.

1 Star – I did not like it at all.

2 Stars – It was OK. I wouldn’t recommend it.

3 Stars – I liked it, but not loved it. Would recommend.
