Review Policy

Please send all requests to ginandtolkien@gmail.com

I'm currently accepting Adult and Young Adult novels.

I accept print ARCs, eARCs and finished copies. Due to hearing, I cannot accept audiobooks.

If the book is part of a series, then I may need the previous books.

 

Genres:

I accept Adult and YA fiction in the following genres:

Adventure

Dystopian

Fantasy

Mythology

Science Fiction

I am NOT accepting books in the following genres:

Business or Entrepreneurial

Romance

True Crime

Accepting Books:

If I accept a book for review, that does not guarantee a review. I will make every effort to read and review a book in regard to release dates. I prefer to receive a book 4 - 6 weeks prior to when you'd like the review posted.

Reviews:

If I cannot complete a review, I will contact the author and/or publisher that gave me the book so we can discuss doing something else to promote the novel such a preview of the novel.

I have a unique style. I cannot guarantee a style of review - such as chronological. I review based on what I enjoyed most in your book. I've reviewed by themes, by character traits and sometimes by structure.

Keeping this in mind, I write fair and honest reviews. However, this does not mean I will always write positive reviews. My reviews are my opinion, and if I don’t enjoy a book then my review will reflect that.

 

I always try to explain why a novel didn’t work for me without being rude or defamatory to the novel or it’s author.

Review Structure:

All reviews include the following:

 

- Cover art

- Star Rating

- Similar Books and/or Series

- Serious Warnings and/or Triggers

- "Playful" Triggers
- Publisher Synopsis
- My review
- Quote 
- Drink Pairing

- Other Books by Author

Star Rating:

I rate books on a five star scale. 1 being I didn't enjoy the novel, 5 being I loved it and highly recommend it. I never give a book less than 1 star. I've given one book 6 stars - it happens.
