**PLEASE READ MY REVIEW POLICY BEFORE CONTACTING ME**
Part of being a blogger means that I am sometimes sent books for review. I welcome requests from authors and publishers, and am always happy to receive advance copies of books for reviewing. With a background in journalism, I am trained to write fair and non-bias reviews. That being said, I am not a professional book reviewer, and all reviews are based on my personal taste and opinion. I am just a college student who loves reading and love recommending books to other people like me. I review all types of Young Adult books, including contemporary, adventure, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery and thriller. My favorite categories are dystopian and alternative reality literature. I am also open to reviewing Adult Fiction, depending on the storyline and subject matter. NO children's books and ABSOLUTELY NO erotica. All books I review are either purchased by me, checked out from my local library, or were given to me to review. In addition to my reviews on Anchored In A Book, I also post reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. If I do not enjoy a book or am unable to finish a book for any reason, I will do my best to be as constructive and fair in writing a review and sharing my thoughts. I do not accept monetary compensation for my reviews.
The kinds of books I review:
- YA literature, sometimes Adult Fiction
- The genres I mainly read are dystopian, alternative reality, contemporary and fantasy
- I WILL NOT accept children's books or inappropriate adult books
- I will accept books in paperback, hardback and Kindle format (Although paperbacks are the most convenient and preferred type)
What you can expect from my reviews:
- My thoughts, opinions and a rating
- A fair, non-bias review
- Links to outside sites (e.g. Goodreads, Amazon, author's website)
When requesting a review, please make sure to include the following:
- Your name (publisher and/or author)
- Name of book
- Book cover
- Brief summary of book
- Book release date
- Links to applicable sites (e.g. Goodreads, Amazon, author's website)
Additional information:
- Please keep in mind that I am in college and I work 30 hours a week. Due to this, I am usually swamped all day Monday and Tuesday. I do follow a reading schedule though, and will do my best to post my review within 1--2 weeks of receiving the book
- For ARC, I will try to post reviews the week before or the week of the book's release date, unless requested otherwise by publisher/author
- I do accept swag for myself and/or giveaways, but I won't accept anything in exchange for a better review (All reviews will be written fair and without bias)
- I accept copies of books as giveaways for my readers. Books can be either in physical or e-book format
- I LOVE doing author and character interviews, and would be more than happy to conduct one if requested. Interviews can be conducted in a manner that works best for the author (e.g. Email, phone, Skype)
- I am more than happy to participate in blog tours, author interviews, guest posts and/or giveaways (Must be for a genre I read)
- If I am unable to fit your book in, I am willing to do an author interview and/or chapter expert

- Darn near perfect! I really liked this book, and will recommend others to read it. It had a few flaws, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. I will probably reread and/or purchase this book in the future.
- It was okay. I liked this book, but wasn't blown away or anything. Will probably not be rereading or purchasing it anytime soon.
- "Meh..." I at least finished this book. It had some redeeming qualities, but I just didn't connect with it. Definitely not for me. I will absolutely not be rereading or purchasing this book.
- I don't want to talk about this one... Let's just say that precious hours of my life were wasted reading this book and I would like them back, please and thank you.
- Didn't even finish this book, and struggled through whatever little portion I did manage to read. I found absolutely no redeeming qualities to it, and will not wish this book on even my worst enemy.
