MY REVIEW POLICY

Please Note

I am no longer accepting review requests until further notice.

However, if I have reviewed one of your books previously, you are an Australian author or you are a publicist/publisher/blog tour organiser from whom I have accepted review copies in the past, please still feel free to contact me.



I am happy to receive books to review from authors, publicists or publishers.

My preferred format is print and preference will be given to those offering print copies, but I will accept ebooks.

My preferred historical periods are those spanning the times of William the Conqueror (1066) to post-World War II (the late 1940s). My particular favourites are the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, World War II and the inter-war years (1919-1938). The English Civil War and the Restoration are becoming favourites too. I enjoy historical mysteries and do dip into romance now and then.

The opinions expressed in my reviews are my own and from the viewpoint of a reader who reads for pleasure only. I am not a professional review writer and my reviews reflect this. I try to be as honest as I can without being disrespectful, especially when I review books I didn't like, though these, I'm happy to say, are in the minority. If I dislike a book to the extent I cannot find anything positive to include in a review, I will contact the author/publicist/publisher with my reasons.

I can't give a guarantee as to how long it will take me to read and review your book, as this blog (and book reviewing) is my hobby and life has a habit of getting in the way. I don't work to a strict timetable, but can meet a deadline if need be.

In addition to this blog, my reviews are posted on Goodreads, Amazon (Australia) and NetGalley if my review copy came via them. I am happy to post on other sites if requested. I also draw attention to my blog posts via Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Unfortunately, time does not permit me to write a full review of every book I read, but I always leave a rating on Goodreads.

To help with the promotion of books, I also participate in blog tours, various memes and reading challenges.

A quick look at my blog will give you an idea of the kind of reviews I write and the types of books I read.

If you have a book that you think I would like to read and review, please contact me at: adarngoodread[at]yahoo[dot]com
. Please be aware that if a review request book does not fit my criteria, it will be rejected out of hand.
Happy Reading!

Yvonne
