Review Policy

General Information

I am currently accepting select ONLY Young Adult or Middle Grade books for review. You can send emails to mistynl@hotmail.com. Please do send me an email to check with me on whether I will be reading the book first and some details about the book.

I accept ARCs, finished copies, e-books, and audiobooks. If the book is a part of a series, then I may need the previous books. If you are requesting an audiobook review, then I will require a print copy of the book as well. In the case of audiobooks, there will be two reviews: one for the story, and another reviewing the reader/audio performance.

I am NOT accepting interactive media books at this time. Review requests for these books will not receive a reply.

  •     Fantasy

I am NOT accepting YA and MG books in the following genres:


  •     Non-fiction

Reviews

My reviews will be posted on this blog, my tumblr and goodreads. At the same time, I will make a post on my instagram saying that a review of this book is up.

I write fair and honest reviews. As such this does not always mean that I write positive reviews. My reviews are my opinion and if I don't like the book I will reflect that in my review.

Reviews will include:

    Cover Art
    Book stats: Title, author, series status, publisher, official website
    A summary from Goodreads
    My review
    Star Rating
    Crackpot Theories: What I hope/think may happen (Occasionally)

Ratings

Ratings system changed 9th August 2014. All posts before that used a 5-star system.

10 Flawless & beautiful. 
One of the best books I've ever read. 
9 Damn close to perfection. 
Too close.
8 Excellent. 
Love.
7 Great.
Above average.
6 Good, but I have some reservations. 
Most books fall under this category. I liked it but I didn't love it.
5 Um. Meh.
Meh.
4 Bad with some merit. 
Very little merit.
3 Barely readable.
^What I said.
2 No. Just. No.  
I probably did not finish this book because of how bad it was.
1 I want my money and my time back.
I'm not even going to say please. Just give me back everything I wasted on this book.
