Our Review Policy.

Thanks so much for for taking the time to read our policies.

Why do we blog?
We blog because we love to read and the next best thing is getting our opinions of that book across in a review and in turn discussing it with fellow book lovers. We recommend books and get recommendations in return. We aren’t book critics, we aren’t looking for the next literary genius, what we are is just normal ladies who want to relax and escape in a book for a few hours and our reviews reflect the enjoyment & emotions that the book/author has given us. We can’t promise the reviews will be perfect but we can promise an honest review that is written from the heart.

Who will the reviews be written by?
Either Donna or Melanie.

Types of novels accepted?
Our favourite genres are Young Adult, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, Fantasy Romance, Contemporary Fiction & Chick Lit. We do like some Horror and Sci-fi also. We will consider most books but these are our preferred genres and while we will consider others we can’t guarantee to accept them. We also don’t discriminate between publishing houses and self-published titles, we’re equal opportunities kind of readers.

What format of books do we accept?
We accept most formats but we do give precedence to hard copies over e-books, but if in any doubt please don’t hesitate to contact us.Whilst we try to respond to ALL requests sometimes it isn’t always possible and if we haven’t responded in timely manner then the chances are the book didn’t meet our request criteria and that we are not interested in reviewing that title. If you don’t hear back from us in 72 hours, it is fair to assume that we are not interested in reviewing the title.

When we accept a novel to review?
Acceptance does not guarantee that the novel will be read, or that we will post a review. Also novels that we request personally will have priority over all other titles.

How long will it take to review?
Published books: We try to read the review titles by the release dates. If the book is an ARC, we will try to review the book in the month surrounding its release date, in most cases before the book is released or shortly after.
Self-Published books: We are not currently taking on any self-published titles. Please check back soon.
