Rating and Review Policies

My Rating System:

❋ ❋ ❋ ❋  
Absolutely brilliant. I highly recommend it and if there is a sequel I will be reading it.  It couldn't get any better.

❋ ❋ ❋ 

Great, but is lacking something that keeps me from saying it's brilliant. Recommended.

❋ ❋  
Good.  I liked it and finished it, but I probably wouldn't recommend it to those without an interest in the topic.

❋  

Meh.  Chances are I finished it, but I probably didn't like it or care for it all that much.

❋  

No, thank you.  I may have DNF'd this one and might have thrown it across the room at one point.  I didn't like it one bit, and I would not recommend it (for reasons that will be explained).


My Review Policy:

First things first, thanks for considering me to review your novel!  I am currently open to review requests, but please bear in mind that I'm a busy person and have a mountainous tbr that is threatening to topple over and smash me flat.  I will try to respond to inquiries within a week.   Please feel free to contact me here for review requests.

Genres I Accept:  YA sci-fi and fantasy make up the bulk of what I read, so of course I'm open to considering requests that fall into those genres.  I am also open to considering Middle Grade and Adult sci-fi and fantasy.  Otherwise, I will also consider YA and Adult mystery/ thriller novels.

Formats I Accept: Physical ARCs or hardcovers, Kindle ebooks, and PDF ecopies that can be read on Kindle.

If I Accept Your Novel For Review:  When I receive your novel, it will go to the top of my tbr.  Within two to four weeks I will have read your novel and have posted my honest review here on my blog, Goodreads, and Amazon.  I may also share my review of books that I have particularly enjoyed on Twitter.

My Review Will Include: The cover, my rating (see My Rating System above), a one paragraph summary, 1-2+ paragraph long reaction to the novel where I will discuss the good, the bad, what I liked, and what I disliked, etc., a one paragraph conclusion, the format of the novel, the date I read your novel, and the link to my review on Goodreads.  I may also include a GIF or two, if the mood strikes me.  This is the standard format of my reviews.  For novels that I have accepted as read for review,  I will include a statement noting that I have received this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I Will Also Consider: Author interviews - generally for authors that I'm already familiar with, giveaways - for novels that I'm highly anticipating and/or have greatly enjoyed, and blog tours - for novels that I'm highly anticipating.

Again, thank you for considering me to review your novel.  If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
