My Review Policy is as follows:

1. I enjoy literary fiction, historical fiction, women’s fiction but not straight “chick lit”, children’s literature, memoirs, travel narratives and some non-fiction, depending on the subject. I do not review much YA but will consider a title depending on the plot. I have enjoyed some literary horror as well. Here are a few books that I’ve really enjoyed: The Terror, East of Eden, The Meaning of Night, The Devil in the White City, Prodigal Summer, In The Woods, Star of the Sea, Mister Pip, Very Valentine, The Road, Relic, The Prudent Mariner.

2. Books that are sent to me will be reviewed within a reasonable time frame (2-6 months) unless the author/publisher has asked me beforehand to review it by a certain date. That said, most of books that I receive are reviewed within 2-3 months.

3. I reserve the right to divorce the book after 50 pages if the content is not what I expected it to be.

4. Reviews may contain negative criticism.

5. I reserve the right to use the book cover illustration as well as excerpts from the book in my review as stated under Fair Use.

6. I reserve the right to link the book back to any online bookseller of my choosing. Typically, it will be Barnes & Noble.

7. Reviews may contain a link to the author/publisher’s web site, the author’s photo or a link to the author’s blog. However, there is no guarantee that these links WILL be included.

8. Reviews are posted on my blog Book Chatter and Other Stuff as well as Goodreads, Library Thing, Facebook and Twitter. I will post a review on Amazon if requested to do so.

9. If a book is sent to me by an author/publisher, I will send them a notification email or Tweet once the review has posted.

10. I do not sell books that are sent to me whether they are ARCs or RCs. However, I reserve the right to give them away (on my blog, or personally). An ARC will not be given away until after its posted publication date.

11. I do not accept self-published books for review but I reserve the right to review them on my own if a title strikes me.

12. I do not review e-books.

13. I will only respond to review inquiries that interest me and ones that I feel fit my blog profile.

14. Blog content can only be used with my permission.
