Want Me To Review A Book?

To Authors or Publicists:

If you are interested in having me review a book, it's very likely that I will accept your request. I will accept books from large and small publishers, and self-published books. I will read ARCs or books that have already been released. I will read e-books, but I prefer to read printed copies of books.

But that doesn't mean I will accept every request I get. Sometimes I am busy with other things, simply have enough books to review, or the book is not what I am willing to read. This blog is devoted to certain genres. I will mostly be reviewing sf/fantasy/supernatural/speculative fiction, almost all of which will be YA or Middle Grade. If the book doesn't fit that description, there is less of a chance that I will be willing to review it. But if it is realistic YA, that will probably be fine. I will probably not review Christian non-fiction or fiction, adult non-fiction, adult romances, or picture books.

Just because I agree to review a book does not necessarily mean everything I say in a review will be praise. I will try to mention what is good about the book, but I will be writing my own opinion about what I read, including what I didn't like.
