Time Frame
It will vary from a few weeks to a few months. I will give my best estimate as to when I can have a review ready. I will always try to review around the time of release if it's an ARC.
Please remember I'm a wife and mother. I work part-time and volunteer quite a bit at both of my kids' schools. I also have books I've already committed to reviewing so please take that into consideration as well.
If I accept the request, since I'm taking the time to read your book, I will post my review even if I didn't like the book. Please do not ask that I don't post a review. I also won't take down any of my reviews. I don't want to sound harsh, but all of this has happened to me before and caused some ugliness I don't want to go through again.
My Rating System
- 5 stars ~ I loved it! I can't stop talking and thinking about this book and am likely to reread it though I have a towering stack of books in my TBR list that are about to fall on my head!
- 4 stars ~ I liked it quite a bit, but there was something missing.
- 3 stars ~ It was just okay - there was an equal number of things I liked and things I didn't like.
- 2 stars ~ I didn't like it. There were a lot of problems with the story and/or characters.
- 1 star ~ I didn't enjoy it at all. I either slogged all the way through or DNF'ed it (did not finish).
