If you want me to review something, please look at the NOTE below the Requests section.
I'll tell you right from the start: if your review pitch is messy, too long, not going along with my guidelines, I will most likely NOT accept your book for review.
Please look at the bottom of this page for the things you need to include in your review pitch.
Take a look at my Goodreads to-read list, Books to Pine For or Waiting on Wednesday posts. It'll give you a better idea of which books I'd LOVE to review!
Genres. Here are a list of Genre's I accept and don't.

Where are they posted? I post my reviews on my blog and on Goodreads.
Ratings. I don’t put star ratings or number ratings etc. on my blog posts. I only put ratings on Goodreads, Amazon, Shelfari or any other external review posting site.

Timeline. Priority is given to books to be released. If your book is going published, I will try and post a review no more than one month before and after the publishing date. I'll try to do my best with the dates! However, if you have a deadline you would want me to review by, include it in the inquiry. Here's an idea of what I give priority to:
- Physical books / Blog Tour (e)books
- eGalleys with a deadline
- Review Requests with a flexible curfew
Interviews/Guest Posts/Blog Tours. I am more than happy to host you for an Interview, Guest Post, or Blog Tour! If it's an author interview, usually, I do ask if I may receive the book to read or an excerpt of the book so I can ask questions and be familiar with the author's work.
Requests. You may send me requests/questions through the email below. Put e-mail title as BOOK REVIEW REQUEST, so that I know what you're inquiring about.
iliveforreading [at] hotmail [dot] com
Include in the Inquiry
- Who YOU are and the title of your book, and the genre of your book.
- Author Website/Blog and/or Publishing House Website.
- Blurb of book, what it's about.
- Publishing/Published Date.
- Where you want me to post the review.
- [OPTIONAL] Book Cover, Book Trailers, etc.
- [OPTIONAL – if you don't mind] What you want included in the review – Links to Author's blog/website, Publishing website, Book Trailer, Banners, Links to Bookstores (Where to Buy) etc.
NOTE: Due to the volume of requests, I will not be able to reply to all emails. I’m very sorry about this, and while I truly appreciate that you want me to review your book, due to the size of TBR pile I will only be taking a few requests from now on from authors and publishers I’ve worked with before.
Disclosure. While I do receive books from authors and publishers, all opinions are my own. I do not accept/receive monetary compensation for my reviews.
Thanks!
