At this time I am not accepting new review titles on Book Reviews By Bobbie. I will not be accepting new titles for the foreseeable future as I receive a steady supply of review titles from several publishing companies on a regular basis and it keeps me very busy.

Pinnacle: Author & Book Promotion was created to handle book review offer-overflow and multiple requests for other types of publicity; I can’t review even half of the books I am offered and have to turn many authors away.

If you would like me to review or promote you and your book, please choose from several different options at my associate site Pinnacle: Author & Book Promotion.

Review Policy

I am an Author & Book Promoter, a Freelance Writer and an Independent Book Reviewer; I review because I love books, care about authors and I hope to help others make informed decisions about the books they purchase with their hard-earned money.

I cannot promise a rave review, but I will promise to write an honest one.
I write positive and negative reviews and I try my best to find at least one good thing, even about a really ‘dreadful’ book. It is important to remember that any review is still generating interest for the book(s).
I try my best to review every solicited book that I accept for review.  If I am unable to get through the book, I will notify the book-sender.  
A self-published book has a slightly higher likelihood of being rejected for review as they may not have gone through the usual rigorous editing and revision processes which can make reading the book, very arduous indeed.

♦♦ Please note that I only accept professionally bound, paperback or hardback editions (ARC’s and Galleys are welcome).  I am sorry, but I do not accept e-books or PDF’s.
♦ I always e-mail a copy of the review & the URL on the same day that I post the review up on my blog and on Goodreads.
♦ I am very choosy when it comes to the books that I review for free. 
♦ ARC’s and Galleys have the highest priority and are usually reviewed within 30 days before or after the publication date, unless otherwise requested. 

Clarification

Thank you for being patient with me as I read and post my reviews…

Please note that: Any or all of my reviews may contain teasers and/or spoilers.

>>I do NOT sell the ARC’s or Galleys that I receive.<<
