Review Policy

I will only accept traditionally published Young Adult books for review and will also accept a limited number of Middle Grade books. I will give a  higher priority to those books written by British authors. I will not accept any self-published books for review or any e-books except through traditional published through NetGalley. I will not accept any requests for any book outside of my preferred reading genres/age categories. Please do not contact me for requests that are not about Young Adult books. Any attempts to contact me in regards to books that do not concern my reading tastes or this blog will be ignored and deleted.

I do not review every single book I read.  Currently I review about 50-75% of the books I read. If I accept a copy of your book for review please be aware that this does not guarantee a review on my blog.

Within the YA catergory, I enjoy books that are realistic/contemporary, romantic, girlie, literary, dystopian, verse novels, scifi and fantasy.  I do read paranormals and some horror as well, but I don't read either extensively.

The links to all of my reviews will go on Twitter (follow me here) and I try to update my GoodReads account as well.  I will very soon attempt to add all of my reviews to the UK Amazon site! 

I was listed in CISION's Top 10 UK Teenage Literature Blogs  for three consecutive years and couldn't be happier about it!
