HOW I RATE MY READS

My Preferred Genres:

YA/NA Fantasy Contemporary romance MYSTERY SCI-FI MANGA/MANHWA I will also consider horror + historical fiction

My Preferred Formats:

Physical copies e-arcs/e-books in epub

^Before considering a physical copy, please note that reside in NSW, Australia

*Depending on previous commitments, I will try my best to accommodate your preferred dates, but this can influence my decision on whether I will review your book.

My reviews will always reflect my honest opinions on whether or not I personally enjoyed a book. I reserve my right to express my genuine opinion regarding a book including any form of criticism relating to it in my reviews, although I always try to be constructive as possible.

Minor spoilers may be included in my reviews since I can’t fully review a book otherwise, but I will always include a spoiler tag for these areas in each post.

I write full-length and mini reviews; I assert my freedom to select the type of review I want to write for books or ARCs I receive for review
· Full-length reviews are shared on my blog and Goodreads account
· Mini-reviews are featured in my (collective) mini-reviews posts or monthly wrap up posts, and mentioned on my socials

Even after accepting a request, I reserve the right to not finish any book. I do not write full-length reviews for books I do not finish and only write a brief explanation on why I did not finish them.

I reserve the right NOT to write a review for an ARC or a copy I received for review purposes. An explanation will be communicated privately.

If I am interested in reading and reviewing your book, I will get in touch with you or the publishers directly. Should you not receive any kind of response from me within 2 weeks, consider your request declined.
