Updated: April 2012

First off, thank you SO much for taking the time to read my Review Policy and finding out what my reading/review preferences are here at The Book Cellar.

[Reviews]

I do review almost every book I finish reading. My reviews are my general thoughts  and feelings about the book. If I did not finish a book, I will not post a review.

I do not have a specific time it will take me to review your book. I’m a college student double majoring in English and English Education, so I do the best I can with any free time I have.  If you would like your book reviewed by a certain day, feel free to mention it and I will try my best to meet that date. Books I personally request take first priority. After that, I generally try to read by release dates.

I cross post all my reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I also review at YA Books Central and am the Burlington Young Adult Fiction Reviewer at Examiner.com, so I cross post many reviews there as well. I review books out of 5 stars, using half stars. I take my synopses I include in my review from Goodreads, Amazon, or the jacket flap/publisher’s website.

5 stars = I loved the book
4 stars = I really liked it
3 stars = I liked it
2 stars = I was not a fan
1 star = I did not like it

I do not respond to each individual review request.

[Blog Tours]

I love participating in blog tours! I do need a few weeks notice between when the book arrives and when my scheduled tour date is.

[Interviews/Guest Posts]

I love to host interviews or guest posts with authors! I also love hosting character interviews! I prefer to read the book before interviewing an author. I will review your book around the same time as your interview, so both can receive the maximum exposure possible.

[Giveaways]

I am happy to host a giveaway on The Book Cellar, just email me with details

[FTC Disclaimer]

I am in no way compensated for any reviews of review copies I receive from publishers, agents and authors. I receive review copies in return for an honest, fair review.

[Affiliate Programs]

I am a part of the affiliate program with Amazon and The Book Depository. When you click on a link in a blog post and it brings you to either, if you make a purchase then I will receive a small portion of the proceeds if you purchase that item. Any money earned from this program goes to supporting this blog. Generally speaking, it is used to ship out contest winnings or to sponsor contests. Do keep in mind this is at no additional cost to you.

If you would like to contact me with a review request,  need any other information, or want to contact me about anything else, my email is thebookcellar@wi.rr.com.

Thanks for reading! :)
