In General:
- I read a wide range of genres! To see specifically what I read and some examples of books I loved in those genres, scroll down below. Except for being published here, my original review thoughts will also be published on my personal Goodreads account. Amazon if requested! More links can be found below.
- I accept most book formats, whether printed or e-copy (MOBI, EPUB), and it can be ARCs/Galleys as well as already published books. Specifics can be found below. Once received, I will do my best to have it read and reviewed as soon as possible (usually in the month it is published.) I do not guarantee to review a book within a specific time-frame, unless discussed beforehand.
- I cannot guarantee that I will be able to finish your book when accepting it. However, when this happens, I will contact the author or publisher. A review will not be posted, since I will then be missing a larger part of the book and cannot give an honest opinion on it as a whole. I can however let the author or publisher know why I never got through it.
- I also love to feature authors with guest posts, interviews or hosting giveaways! I have two special author features here as well, called Where You Write and Shelf Confessions, which I’m happy to feature an author that falls within the genres I read and if the author’s book looks like something I and/or my readers would enjoy. At this time I am not accepting any self-published authors for features unless I’ve had prior dealings or I seek them out myself. I do not accept all requests. Usually I prefer to have read the book before agreeing to feature an author. If you are still interested in being featured in any way here on My Shelf Confessions, please contact me for more information! april at myshelfconfessions dot com
