What Happens if I accept your Book for Review?

By sending a book for review, please understand that I will take anywhere from 7-14 days for publishing the review. If you have a certain time frame in mind, then please do alert me on this.

If the book is an ARC, I will try and publish the review on or around the release date and not before.

I will post the review on my blog, Goodreads, and Amazon.

What happens if I didn’t enjoy your book?

All of my reviews will include a rating. Every review I write will be my honest opinion of the book. This obviously means that if I do not like a book, then a negative review is due. However, I do not intend my reviews to be harmful or hurtful. My review will be clear of why I did not enjoy your book.

Please understand that I will not write a glowing review just because the book was sent to me. Not my style, sorry. I spend time reading a book and I reserve the right to talk about that experience — even if it is negative. By sending a review request to me, you are acknowledging that a review may be negative, albeit respectful, and I would appreciate that your response to my review be gracious and not attacking.

Lastly, no. I do not charge for book reviews. I am just a girl who loves to read.
