Hey everyone! Welcome to the place where I talk about how I review books, expectations and all those other shenanigans! I am currently NOT accepting any review requests due to the fact that I need to catch up on many reviews but for future purposes and so you can know more of what to expect from me, I am going to share my review policy with you awesome folks!π If we have worked together before, don’t hesitate to contact me!π With friends in the book community, authors and publishers, I will open up my schedule for the best way to satisfy us both with your new book, promotion or whatever you need. πThank you so much for visiting my website and taking an interest in Touch My Spine Book Reviews!π
When receiving a request for a book review:
When receiving a request for a title as a book reviewer/blogger I will make a decision if the book will be enjoyable to me so I don’t waste your time as well. To be honest I LOVE all kinds of books! I was going too put a list of different genres I enjoy but realized that would take forever and nobody has time for that.π
Formats of the book that I accept for review:
- Print ARCs and copies of the book
- EGalley and e-ARCs of the book. I prefer the book to be in Mobi format but accept other formats as well and have Aikido on my Kindle Fire so I can read any of the formats for e-books.
Please be respectful on my website and when dealing with requests and/or follow up. I expect to get respect because I will always be kind and respectful unless disrespected first. Hakuna Mattata, my friends!π
Sometimes Life Happens, so I am not able to give a time frame for how long it will take for me to review. I went through a really hard time because of unexpected circumstances and lost electricity so I have to catch up on my review requests. I am so sorry for this inconvenience and know I use to have my reviews on a timely schedule but I guess the best way to put it is that “life and shit happened!” Things will get better and I assure you that you will have my respectful and honest review as soon as possible.
I do not review a book that is requested add a strictly positive review. I want Touch My Spine Book Reviews to always be an honest and open environment.
I do not publicly insult an author and/or a publishing company just because I didn’t like a book. I like to keep my posts and reviews always respectful. Even my once in a blue moon two or one star review books, I always try to find something kind to say about the book and be respectful about my difference of opinion.π
Books That Trigger Me Or I May Not Like:
- I am not a fan of novels or self help books that are too preachy or has hell fire and brimstone.π΅ I am an open minded Christian that loves everyone and I do NOT like books that make you feel like if you don’t act a certain way you will burn in Hell forever. Unfortunately, I got sucked into a cult before and have seen the damage it does so that’s why this is a trigger for me. Respectful and non-judgemental books about Christianity are great and I Ann supportive b of though.
- Books that have severe sexual assault scenes especially of a child. I am okay with the author discussing the incident as a part tense or just knowing it happened but it is a huge trigger for child assault to occur in fiction due to my history of abuse.
- Books that have the death of an animal especially playing it out and describing the murder of one. I am an Empath and love animals so it’s just a trigger for me.
- Racism and Discrimination. Please do NOT send me a review request of the book you are inquiring about is pro-discrimination. It will be a waste of both of our time and I will post about any pro-hate.
Thank you so much for your interest in Touch My Spine Book Reviews!π I guarantee that this will be a blog that I will always do my best so that you will always receive a respectful and relaxed/chilled environment.
