Review + Request Policies

Thanks for stopping by my review + request policy page!

I accept requests on a case-by-case basis.

At the moment, I am only accepting early or ARC review requests for books that are traditionally published and come out in September 2019 or later.

I love many self-published authors, but I am picky about them and my to-be-read pile is just too long at the moment to sift through requests.

I will only respond to requests that I want to accept – unfortunately, I simply get too many emails to respond to every single request. If you haven’t heard from me in two weeks, please know that I REALLY appreciate your request, but it’s not the right time or book for me.

Please send all requests to mostlyyalit@gmail.com

About my reviews

My reviews typically include:

The title of the book and author’s name in the post title
A picture of the cover
My star rating (out of 5)
A summary from Goodreads
Links to the author/book’s Goodreads page, the author’s website, and the author’s Twitter
Purchase links
How I got the book and what format I read it in
My thoughts on the book, which will usually consist of my reading experience, discussion of character and plot development, specific points that jumped out at me, and what I liked and didn’t like.
The Final Word: A three-sentence or less summary of my review
A few questions to spark discussion on the book/review

I promote posts by tweeting them out through my Twitter account during the week I post, tagging authors and publishers, and posting them on Facebook page, Tumblr page, and Pinterest board on Books. Sometimes I will also post a picture on my Instagram if there is a giveaway or if it’s a book I was particularly interested in.
