The Book Club Girl

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.

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 :(

By The Letter Book Reviews

Please be aware that I get a lot of requests and will only reply to people on the books that I can commit myself to. If you have not had a reply within 2 days of sending me an email it will more than likely be that I am unable to take on more books at the present time.
