Review Policy

I am currently NOT accepting books for review.

Review Requests

 The genres I'm interested in reading are as follows:

• YOUNG ADULT FICTION, particularly fantasy, dystopian or contemporary
• ADULT FICTION, particularly contemporary or historical romance

I prefer, of course, physical books, though if I am truly interested in your novel, I will be willing to accept an eBook for review. Any books I receive are for my own personal use, and will not be shared, distributed or sold. If I am sent a physical ARC, I will probably be asking your permission to send the book on to other bloggers or to host a giveaway for it.

While I do wish I had all the time in the world to read, I honestly do not and thus cannot promise that my review will come up on the blog right away. I usually work by reading my review books in the order that I received them. HOWEVER, should you wish to have the review posted within a specific timeframe, please specify that in your email, as that will help me decide if I can review your novel.

Please note that even if I accept your request for review, I may not necessarily post my review on the blog. Regardless of whether or not I choose to, I will be emailing you about your book to let you know what I thought of it.

If I do end up reviewing the book, I will inform you through email when the review goes up on the blog. Please note that I also post my reviews on Goodreads, and am currently planning to expand to posting on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

If you would like me to review your book, please feel free to send me an email at alexalovesbooks (at) gmail (dot) com.

About My Reviews

I write my reviews in a very personal, informal manner, usually trying to catalog my own reactions and thoughts. Each review does include cover art, author information, publishing information and a novel synopsis (usually taken from Goodreads).

Disclaimer: I cannot always guarantee a completely positive review. I will, however, guarantee a fair, honest and diplomatic one. 

About Author Interviews, Guest Posts and Giveaways

I always enjoy getting to learn more about the authors behind the books.  If I accept your novel for review, I will be happy to try and accommodate author interviews, guest posts, blog tours and giveaways, should that be possible.
