Reviewing Policy

I'm totally overwhelmed with books at the moment, so I have decided not to take any more books to review at the moment.  Sorry about that.

For information, below is my reviewing policy.

1. I may refuse to review your book if I feel that it is not in keeping with the ethos of my blog or not the sort of book my readers would be interested in reading.  This will be based on my personal opinion of the book's blurb and any additional information I may seek from the publisher/author.

2.  I write reviews for readers, not for authors or publishers.  Therefore all books will be treated the same:

My promise to you:
I will read the book from cover to cover.
I will carefully consider my opinion of the book.
I will write a balanced review giving my opinion on what did and didn't work for me.
I will offer up a grade based on my grading system (see here).

This will mean that your book may get a bad review or grade from me.  I do not write reviews so that authors can use them as publicity, I write them so readers make an informed decision about where to spend their money.  If you do not want to risk getting a bad review then I would suggest that you do not send your book to me.

3.  I am a lone reviewer with reviewing commitments to another review sites, and therefore it may take me some time (often up to a month) before I can read your book or review it.  I apologise for this and will always give you a general indication of how long it will be until your book can be reviewed.

4. I do not like to read m/f/m or m/m/f ménage books but I'm quite happy to read ménage books which are m/m/m (or more m's!) only.

If you need any clarification on this policy, please do not hesitate to contact me via the 'About Me' button on my blog.
