My Review Policy

UPDATE: Due to personal commitments over the next couple of months I will not be taking any further review requests. I’m hoping to be back taking review requests again in April if not sooner so please to check back for any updates!

Welcome to my Review Policy. Please read fully, and if you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.

I’m happy to receive books by post. There’s nothing better than receiving beautiful new books in the post to review. (Please note I live in the UK)
I accept eBooks but can only accept them if they are compatible with Kindle at the moment.
Love receiving review requests from self-published authors.
I’m also happy to receive audiobooks to review.
I cannot guarantee 100% that I will be able to review every single book as soon as I get them. I will however, try to read them as soon as I can. I will try to prioritise books depending on whether a review date has been given or when they are to be officially published, so if you are able to send a book with enough time I will try my very best to read and review it before the release date.
I will always write honest and unbiased reviews, so if I don’t like a book or absolutely love it I will say so. As well as posting reviews on here I will also post on Amazon.co.uk & goodreads.com. Please note sometimes Amazon.co.uk will not allow me to post reviews until the book is officially published so reviews will be up as soon as I am allowed to do so.

Additional Review Information

I will always inform my readers where I received the book from. However, when posting reviews on Amazon.co.uk I will have to remove this acknowledgement to prevent Amazon from declining reviews.

I always try my best to give spoiler-free reviews and if there is a spoiler, I will make sure it is clearly mentioned in the review.
