For The Love Of Words

I typically review the following genres: fantasy, urban fantasy, historical fiction, dystopian/post-apocalyptic, horror, and mystery. I read Adult Fiction, YA Fiction, and select Middle-Grade Fiction as well. I accept digital (epub, mobi), physical copies, and audiobooks (I prefer receiving audiobooks via Audible format). My reviews are honest, subjective, and in accordance with FTC guidelines.

Hi there! I'm Raimy and I would love any opportunity to review books from authors or publishers. I am happy to post my review both on my blog and at Amazon and/or Goodreads. However, I can only promise posts at the separate sites if requested.

Confessions Of A Book Addict

I try to be fair and honest in my reviews. I will always highlight both the positive and negative aspects of a book. Additionally, I post my reviews on Goodreads and I link it to my Twitter account as well as my blog's Facebook page. I use a five star rating system.

Books In Brogan

I enjoy reading somewhat eclectic range of book, but I especially enjoy reading paranormal, science fiction, fantasy and contemporary romance in both adult and YA books. I'm not a huge fan of horror I also don't read much erotica or anything overly graphic, abusive or with a blatant amount of excessive violence.

Book Angel

Bookangel started as a London bookclub's private site to swap book recs and highlight free books. It opened to other users a few years back after realising that there weren't many sites that focus on UK readers.

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.

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.

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.

A Little Blog Of Books

It may not come as a surprise to you that I like books and I read quite a lot of them Ð mostly contemporary, literary and translated fiction. I love stories with unreliable narrators and my greatest fear is running out of books to read. I don't accept review copies of self-published books. However, do feel free to contact me with all queries via email or Twitter. Please be aware that I may not be able to respond straight away.

Chapter By Chapter

We primarily read Young Adult and MG novels, with a a big preference towards Fantasy, Dystopia and Paranormal Romance. We are also huge, HUGE fans of trilogies, sagas and series, and would prefer to read the books in sequential order. Nothing makes me sadder than to read a book without knowing that it was part of a series, and no spoiler alerts :(
