Hello!
As a bookish blog, one of my favourite posts to do and some of the most rewarding are book reviews.
I get contacted quite regularly about reviewing books, both by authors and publishers, so I though I'd set this page up which allows for people to know my review policy.
I AM CURRENTLY ACCEPTING BOOK REVIEW REQUESTS!
The different categories I review: Children's (All ages), Middle Grade, Young Adult and some Adult books as well.
Primarily, my blog focuses on Young Adult and Middle Grade books. I read and review books in these age brackets for most genres. I have also previously reviewed Adult novels. This isn't something that I choose to read often, so I am more selective when it comes to these titles.
Genres That I'm MOST Interested In:
- Fiction
- Contemporary
- Fantasy
- Paranormal
- Humour
- Romance (Not Adult)
- Some Sci-Fi
- Graphic Novels
- Self Help
- Memoirs
- Poetry
Genres That I DON'T Accept:
- Erotica
- Religious/Biblical
- Non-Fiction (Ultimately, it depends on the topic. If it's something I would find interesting then I would accept.)
REVIEW SYSTEM/DETAILS:
All of my reviews are Spoiler-Free as I think this best allows for the most people to access and read my reviews. I do accept review books from Indie Authors and I have previously supported small/self-published authors. By doing spoiler-free reviews this means that more people can hear about the book, not just restricting the review to those who have read the title.
I talk about a book in stages starting from an overall summary/what the book is about, what I enjoyed (characters, plot, writing style etc), what I didn't enjoy (if there's anything), a final comment and then a rating out of 5. All my reviews are honest and if I have been sent a copy, doesn't affect the review I will give. Not all reviews will be positive, though I do tend to just not share a review if it's going to be too negative. At the end of the day, I still respect the work and effort that has gone into writing a book. Even if I may not like it, it doesn't mean someone else won't.
Cross-posting reviews:
All reviews will go onto this blog. As well as this I always share links pf the review to the book on Goodreads and am able to do so on Amazon if requested. I understand that sharing reviews on different sites is important to a books growth and so I am open to share my review onto most sites if asked.
Formats:
I accept ARCs and/or finished copies.
I am based in the UK and do mainly prefer to read physical book copies (paperbacks), but I understand that shipping can be expensive and therefore do accept ebooks. Most of the books I have reviewed have come in ebook form due to it being from international or self-published/smaller authors. I do find ebooks take me longer to read, but this is no way would put me off reviewing your book, it would just mean you may have to wait slightly longer for me to finish reading and produce a review.
I read ebooks on my Ipad through iBooks, the Kindle app as well as Bluefire Reader. As long as the file type is compatible with one of these, then I am more than able to review your book.
I also use Netgalley, so I can accept copies through this as well.
Deadlines:
At one time I can have a few review books on the go or waiting for me to get to. I tend to follow my review titles in the order that I receive them or if there is a review deadline/timeline, then I will go for the one that is due first. Sometimes this can go amiss as I do want to read and review books when I'm in the best mood, to make it a fair reading experience.
I can review by a certain deadline if necessary, for example before a release or for a book blitz/tour.
CONTACT ME:
If you have a book that you think I'd be interested in, then the best way to contact me is through my email:
EMAIL - [email protected]
or Twitter:
TWITTER - @sprinkleofbooks
Above I listed the genres and categories that I read from and those are just the ones I prefer, but I am always interested to give something new or different a go. It also goes the other way that just because a book may be YA or Middle Grade, does not mean I will always accept to review. I will accept if I feel the book is going to be something I'd enjoy or that I feel I want to talk about.
That is pretty much all I can remember to include in this post. If you have any questions or would like to know more information, then please don't hesitate to contact me though the contact details above or on the other page.
