My Blog Review Policy



Email:wrights5[at]hughes[dot]net
This is my personal blog and my reviews are written and edited by me. It is a hobby and not a profession. I do accept books, ARCs and other items occasionally to review. I receive no compensation for my reviews and they are formed by my honest opinion.

Preferred genres: I will consider reading anything but these are the ones I usually prefer:
Fiction - mystery, suspense/thriller, contemporary romance, chick lit, young adult, children, fantasy, paranormal and anything with a sense of humor is always good.
Some history and nonfiction will also be considered.

Least preferred genres: It depends on the story but generally I don't care for these:
Westerns, sci-fi, religion, business.

Review time frame: I try to read the books in the order I get them unless there is a special request. It usually takes me about two months. I also try to review ARCs as close to the release date as possible. I intend to review everything I receive but I do reserve the right not the review a book should there be a time conflict or other problem. I will do my best to notify you if that's the case. I will be honest and will not be unkind. If I can't finish a book or truly do not like it and am unable to write a review, again, I will do my best to notify you so you can decide if you still would like a review.

Locations: I will place my reviews on my blog, Goodreads and with the publisher and often with LibraryThing, Shelfari, Barnes & Noble. Other sites are possible if you notify me.

- I do not sell ARCs but I may pass them on to family, friends or other bloggers to read, or donate them to my public library unless you would prefer I don't.
- I will consider accepting self published books, audio books and I now accept e-books.
- I would be interested in participating in contests, blog tours and interviews.


I look forward to hearing from you!

  2. Is it just me or is anyone else getting a lot of request to read PDF's? I had to reply to a few requests saying sorry don't do PDF's.
