Book Review Policy ~ Updated Sept 02, 2014

I was surprised, and honored, when I had authors approach me recently to review their books. I had thought this blog would just be for friends or people at Swap-Bot and I was amazed that an author would want my opinion on a book. So, any author that comes across my blog and even considers me for reviewing their book ~ Thank You. It means a great deal to me.

As I've become comfortable with my blog and getting it in the direction I've wanted it, I've enjoyed continuing to review books, though mainly they have come from NetGalley, rather than directly from authors/publishers. I've seen a bit of a trend, it seems, that there are some authors and/or publishers who must be requesting reviews from every blog they come across.

I know I'm only one small blog among the thousands that you can chose from, but I have to ask that if you want myself (or any blogger really) to review, please please take the time to: 1 ~ address me by my name. When I receive generic emails, I almost always am not interested right from the start. If you want my time, take two seconds to put in my name. It's not like you have to search for it, it IS in the title of the blog after all. 2 ~ Please, also check my genre preferences, even if just the little bit below. I'm not a typical female reader. I don't like a lot of the newer stuff coming out right now, so please don't waste my time or yours. Check to see if I'd like what you have written.

At the very least, for me know this ~ I prefer ACTION to talking. I prefer women who kick ass, not who go shopping. I like tough guys who swoop in to save the day with guns blazing. I'll pick out a mystery, suspense, thriller over a romance any day. I like mind games and serial killers, I like crazy virtual reality, I like to be kept guessing and have the bad guy NOT be the obvious choice. I like BDSM done the RIGHT way, full of SSC sex and trust. I don't like to cry, I don't like books with babies, I don't like books with pregnancies.

Sorry to add this new part, but I've gotten requests lately that are not anything near what I would read. So, I'm hoping to put this back out there as a reminder. Thank you for your time and your consideration.

With my review ~

• You'll receive an Honest review, this includes if I dislike it.
