Review Policy

Welcome to my review policy!

If you have a book that you'd like me to read/review please make sure it fits the guidelines below. 

Understand that I have the right to decline an offer if I am (1) not interested in the book or (2) do not feel like it would fit the content that I review on my blog. 

I do not promise an exact amount of days that I will take to read and review a book but it will most likely not take longer than 3 weeks. If I feel like it will take longer, then I will let you know. If you have a date that you would like me to post a review on, then I will post on that date. 

I am able to receive ARCs and Finished copies in the Kindle or Physical Format. I do prefer to review books in the physical format though. 


*Please note that if I feel that a book has some mature content in it, I'll be sure to put a warning in the post. I will be reviewing and listing a mix of Young Adult and New Adult or Adult reads on this site.*

I use stars to rate the books I review.

5 stars - An out of this world experience. Will make it to my re-read pile! 

4 stars - I really enjoyed it. Would give other books by this author a try. 

3 stars - I liked it but I wasn't totally into it. 

2 stars - It was okay...barely. 

1 star - I didn't like it :(
