Review Policy

Welcome to my blog (Hooked on Bookz)!

First of all, thank you for your interest in my site and for taking the time to read about it. If you are an author or publisher interested in sending me a book for review, I will gladly consider your request.

Please keep in mind:

  • I would not accept the PDF file format or audiobooks. The review copy should be either a physical copy or a Kindle E-book.
  • I require a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks of time to come up with my review from the date when I receive the book. If the book is an ARC, I will try and publish the review on or around the release date and not before.
  • I would post my review on my blog Goodreads, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Also, on various Facebook and Goodreads book groups. I will try to get you as many audiences as I can.
  • I believe in writing honest and unbiased reviews.
  • I reserve the right to DNF (did not finish) a book if I find that it is not a good fit for me.
