If you would like to request a review, please send me an email with a brief description of your book and the buy links. Please DO NOT attach any files to your request for review. I will let you know if I'm interested in reviewing your book. I cannot review every book submitted to me because of the overwhelming number of submissions.

My name is Sharon (sherton on LibraryThing) from Iowa and I am an avid reader of just about every genre. Of course, I have my favorites, but I'll let you try to guess what they are. If I'm not working in my garden, I'm writing reviews here, for Amazon, LibraryThing, GoodReads and others as requested.

I started Likely Story to share my love of books with the world. I have been known to stay up until 3am, lost in a book and I decided I wanted to spread the word and share as many of them as I could with other readers. Happy reading!

My name is Eva (pronounced Ava) and my favourite thing to do in the world is read. If I can't be reading, I'd like to be talking about books. I'm really good at recommending books to other people and one day I decided to take that to the next level and blog about books.
