Book Review Policy

Becki's Book Review Policy

My name is Becki, and you can read a bit about me here. I've been writing book reviews for about the past four years, though I've recently decided to give myself (and my blog) a fresh start. Most of the books that I review are books that I purchased either on Amazon or at one of my local book stores.

I do accept books for review. Please review my list of genres I am currently reviewing and those that I am not currently reviewing before requesting a book review from me, and note that I am at the present time only reviewing hard copies. This means that I cannot accept electronic books for Kindle at this point in time.

Genres I Want to Review:

• Dystopian Stories
• Suspense/Horror
• Modern Fantasy
• Cozy Mysteries
• Young Adult (Coming of Age) Stories
• True Crime
• Anthropology
• Pagan Practice

Genres I Will Review:

• Romance
• Historical Fiction
• Christian Fiction (I'm not a Christian though!)
• Chick Lit
• Historical Nonfiction
• Self-Help

Genres I Won't Review:

• None at Present

To Contact Me for a Review

Please contact me by sending an e-mail to beckithebibliophile@gmail.com with a CC to becki.rizzuti@gmail.com to ensure that I receive your e-mail as quickly as possible.

In your e-mail, please include:

• the book's title
• the author's name
• the publisher's name
• your name
• a summary of the plot
• a link to the book on goodreads

I try to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours, provided that they are sent to the correct address and are not sent to my SPAM folder. Please be patient: I do check the spam folder of the primary e-mail account routinely.

How Reviews are Posted

All reviews will be posted to this blog, with a copy to Goodreads. A review will generally be posted to Amazon, often an abridged version of 250-500 words, while reviews on the blog and Goodreads are often longer.

The blog and Goodreads Review will include:

• a star rating between 1-5 stars or a dnf (did not finish) rating.
• a spoiler-free summary of the book.
• my thoughts on the book.
• who i'd recommend the book to.
• a comments section for follow-up by other readers.

I read about one book a week, depending on the length of the book. Sometimes I can read and review as many as three short books in a week, but it might take two or even three weeks to read a book that is over a thousand pages long.
