Christian Indie Book Review

We are glad you stopped by! The purpose of this site is to review self-published and small-press published books. If a book is reviewed here, you can expect the quality and content to be sufficient for human consumption (at least ours, your mileage might vary), or know the reason why not. We do not review erotica books, so please don't send us any!

Book Club Girl is a promotional service of HarperCollins Publishers offering reviews and resources for book clubs. I review fiction and nonfiction that is appropriate for book clubs. This includes literary and some women's commercial fiction as well as memoir and narrative nonfiction. I do not review self-help, thrillers, mysteries, horror, or fantasy.

The Lesbrary

The Lesbrary is a book blog all about les/bi/etc books. Yes, this often means lesbian books (hence the name), but includes anything in the broad ‰ÛÏdoesn't identify as a man and is at least some of the time attracted romantically and/or sexually to others who do not identify as a man‰Û category. Lesbrary books don't have to be written by a queer author, though it helps.

Books In Her Head

I generally review YA books with the occasional literary fiction (adult) or middle grade review. The books I choose to read are a combination of my interests/recommendations and ARCs that have come into my possession. All finished copies/ARCs received from publishers are reviewed with the same integrity‰ÛÒthe sourcing of my copy does not affect how truthful my review will be.

SFBook

SFBook has five regular reviewers. If we were to satisfy every author, we'd need to read and write reviews for over 100,000 books each per year. That's 274 books every day. Given that fact we simply can't review everyone's book, we are lucky to get through a very small fraction of those written each year. We are, however, happy to be contacted with requests by independent authors as well as those who are represented by agents and publishers.

Actin' Up With Books

My current review style allows me to provide more of my personal reaction to the story and characters & what I liked, what I didn't, and how I related to the stories. Sometimes I will comment on the covers or share some of my favorite quotes. My review will be fair and honest. I will not provide a review for a book I do not finish. I do not accept requests for fantasy or science-fiction. Thank you!

Cracking The Cover

Prior to starting Cracking the Cover I professionally reviewed books for the Deseret News, a daily newspaper in Salt Lake City. My reviews for Cracking the Cover are much the same. I pride myself on professionalism and believe every book deserves the same sort of treatment. I am somewhat selective about accepting review requests. Special consideration will be made for publicists/third parties that I have worked with before; authors I have worked with before; and if the title was one I was planning on requesting.

Mystery Suspense

I receive no monetary compensation for any reviews I post and I give my honest opinion of the book. Remember - please only submit mystery/suspense fiction. I will not even reply to other book genres. NO ROMANCES, which includes romantic suspense. Please look at what I have already reviewed and liked, to gauge if your work is similar.

The Next Best Book Blog

I focus mainly on independent/small press and self published literary fiction. My preferred format is printed/bound books, though I have reluctantly moved into the digital age and accept ebooks for review (PDF and .mobi). I am open to working with various authors, publishers, publicists, and literary agencies - reading and reviewing ARC's and backlist titles. I would love to hear about your book as well.

Nishitak

If you are an author/publisher/publicist/other who wants to promote books on my blog, read on: I accept all kinds of books for review, except for Non-Fiction (unless it is health/fitness related). Once I receive the book, it can take me up to 2 months to review it depending on my TBR list. If your book is a part of a book tour or you want a review published at a specific time, please state it up-front.

Kddidit

I am not a professional reviewer, and I adore books, and I see reviewing books as a way to ‰ÛÏpay‰Û for my addiction to reading. Books are a way of learning more about the world, seeing it from someone else's perspective, traveling to different places and times, discovering how other people live.
