My Reviews:
My reviews are always of my opinion and are completely unbiased. They are honest representations of my thoughts on a particular book that I have read. My reviews are not influenced by whether I have purchased a book myself or am sent a copy by either the publisher or author. My reviews include:
*Title, author, publication date, format of the book I read and links to purchase the book.
* A short synopsis of the book.
*My thoughts on plot development, character growth, world building and an overall enjoyment of reading the book.
I do not believe in reviewing books I have not enjoyed on some level. I am a firm believer in not broadcasting bad publicity or 'book bashing'. If I have really not enjoyed the book at all, I will choose not to review it. I do not want to influence people not to buy a particular book.
Books I Review:
I am a Young Adult Fiction fan so I tend to stick to that specific genre. I enjoy reading/reviewing paranormal books, dystopian novels, books with characters dealing with social issues as well as quirky, fun, lighthearted stories. As I work part time in my local bookstore I also like to read New Release Fiction titles as well.
Review Copies/ARCs:
Just like any other reviewer/blogger, I LOVE ARC's. Unfortunately my location does not make it easy for me to be a receiver of some of the amazing copies that that other reviewers are lucky to be given. Obviously a physical copy is always great to be given and I will always appreciate the extra mile taken to be sent a review/arc copy from anybody. I do own an iPad and am able to read Kindle copies and Epub copies as well, which is a great consolation prize. Please Note: I do not give preferential treatment to authors/publishers who send me physical copies over ebooks. Although I am grateful for physical copies I do not place them any higher on my to-be-read list. For author review requests please fill in the Request a Review Form in the Contact Me tab. I do have a an email address, mentioned below, which is only used for blog tour requests, giveaway requests, publicity requests and representatives of publishing houses. If you send a review request to that I email I will not accept it. Just like anyone else I do not wish to be spammed so please comply with my blog rules. If I wish to review your book I will respond to your request.
Promotions/Contests:
Working in a bookstore I am all for promoting authors, books ,events...basically anything book related. I want to get the word out there for people to read books! Therefore I am open to participating in author interviews, guest blogging/reviewing, hosting contests, blog tours and promoting special offers on anything book related.

Disclaimer:
Reviews are posted once I have completed the book and a set date cannot be given for a review. However if a review is required by a certain date for promotion purposes, and I have been given adequate time in which to complete the book, a review should be possible. But I make no guarantees. I am a college student and I work part time so I try my best to do posting on a regular basis.
