(Accurate as of September 5, 2009)
I love to read. I love everything about it. I love the feel of a book, the smell, the way it looks. I also love to blog. I love being able to connect with people who love the same things as I do,
Publishers/Authors:
First of all, thanks for taking the time to look at my blog. I really appreciate it. If you're here reading my review policy, I can only guess that you're considering sending me a book. I'm definitely accepting books for review, and if you think I might be interested in the book, or just have questions, please email me at
52booksand52weeks@gmail.com. I hope you'll continue to read about the types of books I like, and I look forward to hearing from you!
Criteria of Books I'll Gladly Acept:
- Young Adult
- (Some) Middle Grade
- Adult
- Fantasy
- Science Fiction
- Chick-lit
- Historical Fiction
- Satire
- Romance
I will accept any young adult book, with rare exceptions. I read mainly YA but the other genres are genres I enjoy and love to read as well.
Time it takes for reviews:
I will do my best to review the book shortly before it goes on sale, to generate buzz for your book. If it is an already published book, it will take a little longer. That being said, unless I tell you otherwise, I have the intention of reviewing all books within 2 months of my receiving them. If there is going to be a delay, I will email you and let you know. I will do my best to get your book reviewed within that timeframe, but sometimes real life issues arise and there may be delays, for which I apologize.
Statistics:
I have 72 Blogger followers and 89 subscribers on Google Reader. I started blogging in November 2008, but in April of 2009 was forced to go on a hiatus. I returned in August 2009, and plan to continue blogging! I only installed a visitor counter recently, so I do not yet have statistics on my visitors.
A Word on Reviews:
I will do my absolute best to review every book I receive. If I get the book and it turns out I don't think it's for me, I will email you and then, if you allow, pass it onto someone I think it is better suited for. I can't, however, guarantee that every review I post will be positive. It will be honest, and I won't ever bash a book, but there are just some books that I don't like.
About My Reviews:
As of September 2009, all my reviews include cover art, a summary, my honest and original thoughts, publication details, and a rating.
Interviews/Guest Blogs/Contests:
I love all three! If you want me to feature you in an interview or guest blog, please just send me an email at
52booksand52weeks@gmail.com and we will set something up as soon as possible!
I haven't yet held a contest, but plan to soon. I would prefer for the publisher or author to end the book to the winner, because that cuts down on shipping costs for everyone. However, if this isn't feasible, please let me know and we will work something out.
I think that's it! If you want to know more about me, please visit
