WHEN I REVIEW A BOOK
How I review:

I write honest reviews that are given a star-scale rating.
I try to keep the audience in mind when rating a novel – Even if a book is not right for someone, others may enjoy it depending on the type and it’s to those I will recommend.


Updated Ratings:

I follow the “star” rating from 1-5 and I DO give half stars.

I don’t do reviews of DNF books!

How you’ll know I’ve reviewed:

If I’m interested in your book, I will be contacting you (occasionally it might take a bit longer).

If asked, I will contact you when I begin reading the novel.

Once I read it, I will be posting it in my blog and if asked will contact when its posted.

The review will also be posted on Goodreads (and on Amazon if asked)  I occasionally share the link on Twitter (and sometimes Instagram).

 

I do not receive any compensation for my reviews. What I write are my true thoughts and nothing more.


I look forward to working with you, and becoming a part of the book promotional process!
