Oh hi there hello – I LOVE that
you’re considering me to review your book! How super exciting. I am totally
open to all requests, although I do (with all the love in the world) reserve the
right to decline your request if I really don’t think the book you’re offering
is up my street. People are busy and there are always so many more books than
there are hours to read them and I wouldn’t want to say I’ll read and review
your book if I don’t think I will; I’d rather be honest upfront and say no, you
know?
If you’re interested in what I
really like to read, then I’m a fan of pretty much all YA. I also like short
stories and literary fiction and some sci-fi/fantasy and some thrillers and the
odd good detective story and (some) poetry and oh, actually, that’s pretty much
all the books isn’t it…..
If you would like me to have a read of your book then it would be most
excellent if you could email me on josephine (at) livetoreadreadtolive (dot) co
(dot) uk and let me know the title of the book and a short summary along with
the release date, and roughly when you’d need me to post my review by, along
with details of how you’d like to send the copy: you can send me a physical
copy or an ebook – I have a Kindle – and have no preference about which of
these you send. I’m pretty easy going, I think.
If I do accept your request then
I promise I’ll do my best to get it read and reviewed ASAP but please please don’t
hate me if it takes a while, ‘kay? I have lots of books and a real life (sadly)
and I read depending on my frame of mind, I will try to review close to publication
date though, if the book is an ARC and if you do need a review posting on or by a certain date then let me know –
I’ll certainly do what I can.
Sometimes some books don’t gel
with some people. If that happens – if I don’t have anything to say, or I I DNF
then I need to reserve the right to not review. I also can’t fangirl about your
book if I didn’t like it, I’m sorry. I want to be honest and unbiased but
please please know that even if some of my thoughts are negative I will never
be cruel.
Oh, and also I’m totally down for
author interviews and blog tours and all that fun stuff.
