I am happy to be contacted with a view to reading and reviewing books. Due to dexterity problems, I only read on kindle (mobi.file). I will consider most genres, but fantasy, horror and sci-fi are really not my kind of thing, although I have dabbled in lighter paranormal reads. Please note that I do not read gothic, overly graphic novels – including domestic and sexual abuse, anything with gore or steamy romance. If I accept to read your novel, I will give you a rough guideline as to when I shall be able to read it. If, however, I cannot complete the book then no review shall be offered.
As of January 2022, due to my husband’s retirement, I have cut my list by around 50% which, in turn, affects the amount of books I can accept onto my list.
I am also happy to host Blog Tours and / or Blog Blitzes either by offering a review, an extract and / or a giveaway. I also host Cover Reveals and Spotlight posts.
PLEASE NOTE: What I offer is a review* and not a critique**
review* – an article which gives a personal opinion about a new book, play etc.
critique** – a detailed explanation of the problems of something, such as a book
Preferred genres – in no particular order:
- Crime, especially police procedurals
- Mystery, including ‘cozy’ and historical
- Thriller
- Women’s Fiction
- Contemporary Fiction
- Romantic Comedy
- Historical Fiction – especially set around WWI / WWII
- Family Drama / Saga
- Amish / Mennonite / Quaker fiction
I always provide honest reviews – professional, not personal. I do not include spoilers in my reviews but rather give a brief outline of the story plus my opinions on my experience as a reader.
In addition to inclusion in this blog, I share my completed review on the following:

And also (where applicable) on the day of publication (for arc’s) or when my review is completed for those already released:
*Please note I no longer leave reviews on Amazon due to their unfair policy of culling certain reviewers from placing reviews.
Please do not be offended if I do not accept your book for review – this is usually because of time constraints. As much as I try to elasticate my days, I haven’t quite managed it yet!
Honesty and integrity are important to me; the review on my blog is exactly the same as the one which appears on all other sites. If I cannot finish a book then I do not offer a review but all published reviews are my own opinions.
You can contact me at Reviewerlady27@gmail.com. I will always try to get back to you within 48 hours, outwith that please feel free to remind me.
