Review Policy

I'm Katie and I'd love to review your books! Thank you so much for checking out my personal review policies!

In my reviews I will say how I felt about the book. I read for pure enjoyment and entertainment. I started this review blog to show off my opinions on the books that I enjoy reading. My reviews consist of what I thought of the novel: its plot, story line, characters, and overall feeling while reading the book. Also, a summary from the book. (My summaries from the book come from: Amazon.com, Goodreads.com, the jacketflap, or the book's website).

Also, my reviews will be 100%, completely honest. I will state my opinion on the book based only on what I thought of the book. Every novel that I read is reviewed on this site, whether it was my favorite book or my least favorite book. And my reviews will tell you which of the said categories the novel falls in. If i believe the book was a 1 Star, that is the review I will give it. I don't like to give someone's hard work a low rating, but if I believe it deserves it, I will be honest.


I am accepting review copies right now. I will try to respond to each email I recieve, and I check my spam and junk mailbox regularly to make sure no emails went astray.


Review Genres:
 I will read and review almost anything you want to send me. My favorite genres are:
  • YA:
  • Romance (I will also review some adult romance)
  • Adventure
  • Fantasy
  • Sci/Fi
  • Historical Fiction
  • Christian
  • Paranormal

There are a few categories of books I can't and won't review. They are:
  • Horror
  • Nonfiction: Autobiographies/Biographies/Memiors
  • Adult Literature
*If you do not see your genre listed, please contact me with information about the book an its genre and I will see. Thanks!

Series:
If you would like me to review a series that I have not read before, please include a copy of the previous book/books. If there is more than three books in the series already  published and I haven't read them,  I will most likely not review them. However, if the topic is interesting enough, you might be able to convince me to read them. (I review each book in the series as I read them.)

E-Books
I'm open for reviewing e-books! Just send them to me (:

Review Timing:
When sending me a book for review, I cannot give you an exact time that the book will be reviewed. I will try to review every book I recieve within a month of recieving it. I do have school and after-school activities, and work, which are the most important in my life and unfortunately, I can't spend every minute reading.  If there is a specific date you need your book reviewed by I will try to come as close as possible to that  goal.


Giveaways:
I would love to host giveaways on my blog! It's the best feeling in the world to win a giveaway, so I would be delighted to host them myself.
