I will gladly accept ARCs, books, and e-books (MOBI or PDF format) from authors and publishers. With my increasing list of titles to read, I cannot offer set times for reviews, but I'll do my best to get them read and reviewed in a timely manner. I will also notify you when your review goes up. I can also not promise a review. My tastes change and if they have changed by the time I get to your book, then I will not force myself to read it. And trust me when I say, if that happens you do not want me to read it. It won't be pretty. Forced reading makes Kara an angry girl.
I write honest reviews. So this means I cannot guarantee you a positive review. If you have read some of my past reviews, you know they can get brutally honest. I'm not saying this will happen to you, but I will NOT hold back. I will not remove a review an author doesn't like. I never personally attack the author, but I am an emotional reviewer. If you ask me to remove a review you don't like (this has happened in the past), I will call you out on your dishonesty. If you attack me via email or Goodreads (anonymously or otherwise), I will call you out on that too. I don't like writing negative reviews and most of my reviews are positive, but this needed to be said. Bad author behavior will not be tolerated. I'm saddened I even need to say this, to be quite honest.
I will gladly host interviews (by email), but keep in mind that I do mine a little differently. I have my guest authors write an essay with given prompts. If you would like me to host a giveaway for you I must first read a copy of your book and see if it's something I and my readers might enjoy. Please contact me with any questions or suggestions.
I love my indies and I will gladly accept your indie novel for review if it is to my taste. Email me with a synopsis of what your book is about and I will consider it for review. I am currently NOT accepting indie or self-pubbed titles for review, unless I have worked with you in the past. There is simply too much author/reviewer drama going on right now and I am not willing to take my chances. This policy WILL change once the blogging climate changes. Keep in mind that my list is long and it may take me a couple of months to get to yours if you submit it. As much as I would like to respond to every email I get, I just can't or I would never get any reading done. I save all of them, however, and if I decide to take your book on in the future I will respond. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
My preferred genres are:
-Young-Adult (Any genre)
-Cultural Fiction (Any, but preference to Asian)
-Urban Fantasy
-Adult Contemporary
-Literary Fiction
-Memoirs
-Travel Fiction
If you are wanting to submit a book in a series for review and it is not the first book in that series, I will need any books that came before that book.
I will NOT feature books on my blog that I have not read. So if you want to do a giveaway, guest post, etc. I need to read your book first.
Sending me a book for review does NOT guarantee I will review it. There are various reasons why that may not happen. But I will do the best I can to get it reviewed.
