Some New Adult
Some Adult Fiction

• We are a little more discerning with our New Adult and Adult fiction selections as we focus mainly on titles that have cross-over appeal.

OUR REVIEW POLICIES:

If we accept your book, we will do our best to review it in a timely fashion. We cannot agree that we will read it and post about it immediately. If you have a time in mind, please communicate it in your request. If no time is agreed upon, we will review the book when we choose to do so. We have a long list of books and appreciate your patience!

We reserve the right not to finish your book. Not all books are a good fit for us or our blog. In the unlikely event that this happens, we will email you and let you know that we will not be reviewing your book.

All of our reviews give our honest opinions about the books we read, and we don't love every book. That said, we do our best to be professional and courteous on our blog. We recognize that a book that doesn't work for us may be a good fit for someone else, and we try to communicate this in our reviews.

Please remember that we are not paid to review or blog.
