Standards


review policy: 

I am not a professional reviewer, but I am willing to accept books from publishers and authors. 
I will try to review all books that I receive  however since I am a student and work a full time job, I may not be able to review every book. I will make sure to promote your book. If you have a time frame on when you need a review up please let me know, so that I may accommodate your request.
I do not want to spoil the book for other readers, so I will give a review without spoilers and I will provide a synopsis.
I read almost any kind of book, however I prefer Young Adult or New Adult books. I am open minded to other genres. I am not too picky, however I do not like to read steamy romance novels. 
When it comes to formats of books, I will accept ARCs, paperbacks, hardcovers, and ebooks. I am listed on netgallery to accept review copies. I prefer a physical copy of the book though because it is much easier to read. If you would like me to review a copy please fill out the form below or visit my contact page. Please include a synopsis of the book you would like me to review along with the release date and any deadlines that may be subject to the review.
I would love to work with new and existing authors. I am open to review for anyone who is willing to let me read and review there books. I love book suggestions. My reviews are a 100% me and are based off of my thoughts and feelings. I try to be very objective regarding the book. I will review books I don’t like however I will be fair and give my thoughts. I do not attack or insult, this is not my style nor my job to do. 

 

my reviews will include:


Title and Author
Synopsis from goodreads or publisher/author’s website
Cover Art
My review
and any other information that you request that I include

giveaway policy: 

Most giveaways will be open to participants of 13 years of age and older (unless stated otherwise)
Please be aware of who the giveaways are open to because they are not all open internationally.
Giveaway winners will be announced on my blog, twitter, and I will send out an email.
Winners will need to respond to the email within 48 hours or I will choose a new winner.
I am not responsible for any prizes that are lost in the mail.
I have the right to reject any entries if it is necessary. I will check entries.

Giveaway and Contest Holdings: 
I am completely open to holding giveaway for promoting your book(s). I would be honored to be included.
If you want me to read and review or promote your book, please send me an email at dazzledbybooks@gmail.com and if you could give me a brief synopsis of your book, that would be amazing.
If I agree to read and review, and promote your book, I will need a copy of the book. ARC, books that are already published or an e-copy. I do prefer physical copies however I can work with either.

 

rating system 

 My rating system is fairly simple. It is based off of a 5 star board. 5 stars meaning that I loved it and 1 star meaning that I didn’t like it at all.

accepting a review

All this guarantees is that I will read a copy of the book provided. I can’t guarantee that I will write a review or that it will be a 5 start one.
Books that I request personally will have precedence over all other titles, then it will come to books I have accepted via a request. Books I recieved without asking for a review will probably be read last depending on whether I want to boost the book to a different place on the list. All books are read based on my schedule and interest. If I do not have any interest to review I will either pass the book onto one of the other reviewers on this page or donate.
I try to read the review titles that I receive in a timely manner but I do have time constraints, if I am part of a blog tour I will make sure to have my posts ready for my day. If the book is an ARC, I will try to review the book in the month surrounding its release date. All other books will be read in order of interest or received.

  1. Hi, my name is Helen Whapshott and I am the UK author of the novel, 'The Glow', which is coming out in March 2014.

    'The Glow' is a Young Adult novel that looks at the challenge of growing to love the gifts that you've been blessed with. Although a paranormal story, much of the story is a coming of age tale in which the characters must find their path in life.

    'The Glow' is my debut novel and I'm hoping to be hopping all over the book blogging world, sharing my work with readers are you able to help?I'm happy to do interviews, giveaways (gorgeous signed bookmarks and free e-Book downloads) or if you are able to do me a spotlight, I have a media pack that I can post out to you. You can get a viewing of my book from Little Bird Publishing House at littlebirdpublishinghouse@yahoo.com
