As a true bibliophile, I love getting books to review. I normally review four to five books a month. If you have a book you would like me to review, please contact me at lisa@thespineview.com. If interested, I will reply to your email. I accept print books (my fav!), ebooks, that I can down load to my Kindle or through Book Funnel, and audio books. Do not send me a book unless I have contacted you to accept the book for review. Sending a book without acceptance, assuming I will review it, is the best way to ensure the email goes directly to my “Trash” can.
In addition to posting reviews on my blog, I also try to leave reviews on Goodreads, LibraryThing, Litsy and sometimes Amazon. Please do not ask me to post a review anywhere else. If you ask me to contact you instead of posting a poor review, I will NOT review your book. Please include in your request what genre the book falls in, a synopsis and any other relevant information.
How I rate books:
- 5 stars: Loved it. Could read again. Highly recommend.
- 4 stars: Good. Liked it but not enough to read again. Recommend.
- 3 stars: Average. Nothing special or had an issue with some aspect.
- 2 stars: Did not like or was not for me.
- 1 star: Could not finish. Waste of good reading time.
Favorite Genres:
- Fantasy
- Science Fiction
- Historical Fiction
- Contemporary Fiction
- Mystery/Suspense
- YA
- Paranormal
- Poetry
I try to review books in a timely manner. If I have a back log of book review requests, I will let you know my time frame. Please keep in mind that I do work full time, have a family and have other life demands on my time.
Last item of business, I am not in the least bit interested in reviewing Horror, Erotica, Memoirs, or Political books. If your book falls into one of these genres, please save us both some time and don’t even ask.
You can also find me on Litsy as @thespineview as well as these other bookish places.
