Jo Reads Romance is dedicated to my love of all kinds of romance novels. I aim to write fair and honest reviews - helping other readers decide whether to spend their hard earned money. However, even if I don’t like a book - I’m never mean. If a blurb, story or cover takes my fancy, I’m game for almost anything. So long as the romance is central to the story. But I tend to avoid dark romances, Mafia, vampires, m/m and menage.

I prefer to review print copies of books whenever possible. I am also able to review EPUB formatted ebooks by special arrangement. Print copies will be given precedence due to the cost involved in getting them to me.

I am glad to accept books for review consideration on my book review blog CrimeBookJunkie. My reviews are only my opinion and I always try to be constructive, say what I liked about a book or explain why it was not particularly to my taste. If I do not like a book, I will be as honest as I can in a constructive manne. I appreciate that writing is hard work so will not be negative/overly critical.

AFRICAN BOOK ADDICT! was created mid-2014 and it’s dedicated to celebrating BLACK literature through book reviews, book chats with fellow readers & writers, book hauls and more. To me, BLACK literature represents books by writers who identify as African, African-American, Caribbean, Black Brit, Afropean, Afro-Asian, Afro-Latinx – the list goes on!

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.

Hi, my name is Jo and I love reading which is why I set up My Chestnut Reading Tree in February 2016 so I could share my thoughts about the books I read with the world! I read mainly crime and psychological thrillers but I also love women's fiction...basically I just love a good story and will review most books apart from sci-fi or horror.

My name is Tracy and I’m a bookaholic. It’s been 35 minutes since I last bought a book and despite having over 450 books on my kindle, 200 books on my bookshelf I can’t stop buying more books. I receive loads of books to read from the publishers and Netgalley – but will only be recommending the books that I think are brilliant. Some you will agree with me about, and others you will hate – and that’s what makes reading so wonderful. Enjoy!

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; the sourcing of my copy does not affect how truthful my review will be.

We will consider all subgenres of speculative fiction (and related nonfiction), regardless of author or medium, including self-published work, but we are especially interested in seeing more books by and about women, people of color, LGBTQIA, disabled people, people with nonwestern languages and religions, and other under-represented groups.
