Review Policy

UPDATE:
Hey there, sweetie!
If you came to this page it means that you’d like me to review one of your stories, but as much as I would love to do so (reading being probably my favorite activity in the world) I can not take in more review requests for the moment (others than the ones I’ve requested myself).

If you are interested in a guest post (e.g. as part of a blog tour) you can contact me and, if I think my readers would be interested, I can schedule a post for you.

I’ll leave below my old review policy, as in the future I intend to do more reading & reviewing.
Thanks for your understanding.

Love,
Ari

ng-memberI accept Young Adult titles for review from authors and/or publishers, and (only) if time allows me some self-published works.

My reviews will represent my honest my opinions and my personal tastes. If I don’t like a book it doesn’t mean that others won’t either.

I respect the authors work and I have no intention to bash their books.
That’s why I usually write reviews for books with a rating of 3 stars or higher and only if I get to finish reading them. There might be exceptions to this rule (as you might find a few reviews with lower ratings).

Types and Formats

Genres of Adult and YA fiction I love to read:

  • Contemporary
  • Romance
  • Paranormal
  • Fantasy & Adventure
  • Sci-Fi
  • Dystopian
  • Urban-Fantasy
  • (some) Science fiction
  • (some) Horror

I might read outside these genres as well. However, I am not religious in the least so Christian novels may not be accepted for review.

Book Formats Accepted:

  • Bound books (Hard cover, softcover etc – you should take into account the fact that I live in Europe)
  • ARCS/Uncorrected Proof Copies
  • eBooks

Authors/Publishers:

I hold the right to turn down a book that I am not interested in and I will not guarantee a positive review. Also I won’t finish a book if I don’t like it and in that case I will not post a review.

Reviews for books will be posted here (on my blog) and on my Goodreads account.

If an ARC is provided, I will not give away or resell the ARC, unless one is provided to me to specifically give it away, like in a giveaway or contest.

If you are asking me to review a book that is part of a series, I would prefer you to supply me with any previous books in the series or check that I have read the previous books.  Reviews will, of course, be posted for all books received.

Timeline

It can take me from a few days to a couple of months to review a book from the date I receive it.
I do not guarantee a review for every book I receive.

I currently have an abundance of reading material, so please be aware that I cannot promise you an exact date of when the review will be posted.

Contact

You can email me with review requests at: ReadingAfterMidnight[at]gmail.com
Please include a brief synopsis of the novel as well, if it is not on Goodreads. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Graphics:

I love photography and sometimes, for a better visual effect, I feel the need to express my love for books in pictures and Illustrations. The graphics displayed that are not my own creation are usually linked to the original source if I know it (DeviantARt or other websites).
The covers and book synopsis are usually taken from GoodReads.
