Review Policy

Important: Please read my review policy before contacting me with a review request.

- When contacting me for a review request, please state in the subject line: Review request. In the body of the email please include the following: Title, series (if applicable), author, blurb, and when you wish the review to be completed for.

- I will try to respond within 7 days to let you know if the request has been approved.

- I will often review a book as soon as I’ve completed the read unless requirements are specified by the publisher so please ensure it is made clear if you have a preference for when the review should be posted. I’m will also consider blog tour participation/giveaways/guest posts for any books I am reviewing.

- Any ARC’s received will not be sold. However, they may be used for future giveaways.

- I am always honest in my reviews. No matter if I’ve received an ARC/review copy via NetGalley or direct from the publisher, or if I’ve been loaned a copy/purchased a copy, I will always be honest in my opinions.

- Whilst hard copies are my preferred format for reviewing (please note: I live in the UK), I will also consider Kindle copies for review.

- Please be aware that I may not get to the review book immediately as I have other books on my list and I also work for a living.

- Also please note that acceptance of a review book does not guarantee a review. Whilst I always try my best to read a book right through to the end, sometimes a book just isn’t for me, and due to time restraints, I just don’t have the time to spend on books I’m simply not enjoying. If this is the case, I will always contact the supplier of the review book and let them know my reasoning.

- Please note: I do not read/review non-fiction.

- I also do not review erotic(a) on the blog due to the fact I feature YA titles on here.

- My preferences are for the following genres:

  • paranormal romance
  • urban fantasy
  • YA
  • contemporary romance
  • zombie fiction
  • dystopia
  • post apocolyptic

- Self published titles: I’m afraid I am not accepting review requests for self published titles at the moment. This is no reflection on self published authors as I have actually posted reviews for self published titles I’ve read. However, any self published books I do read (via personal purchase) and review, I prefer to have control over the choice.

- If you are a publisher looking for a book review, and you have read and accept my review policy, please feel free to contact me at bookarooju(at)live(.)co(.)uk .
