A great way to gauge if your book is a good fit for me is to click HERE to see my list of published reviews.

What You May Expect After You Send the Book

All published reviews will reflect my PERSONAL opinions. Integrity and honesty are two key elements to my reviews and I shall remain true to myself and my beliefs. I will agree to always review books in such a manner that, in the event the book was not to my liking, I will honor the author in the same way that I would like to be honored. A not-so-favorable review may be published, however I will do my best to never insult or slander anybody’s good name and hard work. If there is a book that I feel I cannot review after reading it, I will contact you directly with the reasons as to why I’ve made that decision.

I do NOT sell or giveaway my ARC copies, however I may elect to giveaway the book if I feel that it would make a great promotional item for the blog. Galleys remain in my possession.

I currently publish between 3 and 4 book reviews a week, although that is subject to change. All review copies will be reviewed as soon as possible while integrated into my personal reading schedule (i.e. books that I have purchased for review), unless it is for a book tour, and in such case, I shall have the review completed early and guaranteed for publish on the agreed-upon date. I will attempt to contact you when the book review is scheduled to post and provide the link.

I am open to hosting guest blogs, performing author interviews, and conducting promotions/giveaways.

Upon request, I will post a duplicate copy of my review on The Library Thing or Amazon.com.

What Can You Expect To See In The Review

Each review will have the following components:

• Photo of the Book Cover
• Title
• Author
• Photo of the Author
• Publisher
• Type of Book
• Pages
• ISBN
• Author’s Website
• Link to Amazon.com for purchase
• Release Date, if applicable
• Summary of the Book
• My Personal Review of the Book
• A Rating on a 1-10 Scale
  

If you receive a 10 out of 10 rating, you will be awarded A Novel Menagerie’s “Guaranteed Good Book” seal of approval and will be listed on the Guaranteed Good Reads Page.

If it is a Christian book, you will be included on the Christian Reads Page.

If the book is YA or an acceptable read for children 12 and older, it will receive the Mother Approved seal of approval and included on the Mother Approved Reads Page.

If there are interesting movie-tie-ins, video book promotions, or other interesting web media available for the book, that may be included, as well.

What I Need From You

If you would like me to host a giveaway of the book when I post the review, please indicate so when you send me the book. Please let me know how many copies that you’d like to giveaway.

If you happen to have the media files (i.e. high resolution cover art and author photo), it would be greatly appreciated if you would provide it so that I don’t have to go hunting for it.

A Novel’s Stats

You can review my statistics at the bottom of my right sidebar. My current daily hits average 300 per day with subscriptions totaling over 200.

I am happy to provide you with the stats that accompany a particular review and/or giveaway promotion.

Miscellaneous
