Authors/Publishers:
Please click on the picture below to see my review request policy. I am currently not accepting requests from independent publishers and self-published authors, and
I'm only accepting books that are Young Adult or New Adult. This is not an Adult book blog and therefore I do not accept requests for adult books.

I hate to have one, but I want everything to go smoothly and be fair to everyone
- Fill out the form/Rafflecoptor I will provide
- Must be 13 years of age or older to enter
- You can only fill out the form ONCE. Not twice, not three times, not even five times. I've already run into this issue, which is why this rule is in red.
- I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST OR DAMAGED GOODS. When the prizes leave my house they are in great condition, and I have no way to keep the post office from accidentally losing your package. If the prize is from an online book website, I will discuss the possibility of ordering another book if I am refunded, and only on a case by case basis.
- The winner(s) MAY be announced on the blog, and only as soon as all the entries have been accounted for and I have the time to sort them out.
- The winner(s) will also be e-mailed and have 72 hours from when I e-mail them to reply back with their contact information. If they do not respond within that time, I will choose a new winner.
NOTE: If there's a book you'd like me to review, please let me know. If I'm able to get a copy of it and I have the time, I will do my best. I'm always willing to try new books and I love recommendations. Leave a comment anywhere to let me know!
This pretty much has to be utter perfection. I like to think I don't give out many 5's because I have high standards, but the truth is I love giving out 5's because that means that I've absolutely fallen in love with it. The characters are three-dimensional, the story line is interesting, and the writing is nearly flawless. 5's involve a lot of quick page turning.
Most of the YA books I review are around this area (3.5-4.5). It means I liked it a lot. There's something unique about it, and the writing is very decent. The story keeps my attention for most of the novel, and the characters are extremely likeable (or unlikeable, depending on the character).
The book was interesting enough to keep my attention, but not in a way where I completely enjoyed it. The writing may have been a little off for me, or the characters undeveloped. If this is a book within a series, I'll likely continue the series from 3's and up.
It wasn't what I was expecting. Sometimes, I get high expectations for a novel, and I'm let down. Again, the book just wasn't for me. 2's are tricky, mostly because I feel if it was this bad for me it should be given a 1, or I was too harsh and should give it a 3. I don't often give 2's.
This means that this one wasn't for me. Either it was a subject I didn't enjoy, or the writing wasn't my kind of style. I'm not saying that it was somehow a horrible book, because everyone touches people differently through their novels. I've only ever given two 1's for a book review.
**I sometimes like add spoilers to my reviews. Spoilers are sometimes important for me. There are certain things I like to get off my chest and those who have read the books, I think, appreciate the spoiler comments.**
