GENERAL INFORMATION

I accept any Young Adult, Adult or New Adult, Women’s Fiction, Realistic Fiction, Science Fiction, and Fantasy books for reviews. (Please see further details below). 

I accept print ARCs, finished copies and e-books.

I do not accept audiobooks.

If the book is a part of a series, I will require the previous books, otherwise I will not accept the book.

If I accept your book for review then it guarantees that I will review your book as soon as I finish reading it.

First In. First Out.(Explained in details below)

FIRST IN FIRST OUT (FIFO):

Basically, if I receive your book first, then I will post my review for your book first (as soon as I finish reading it). If I receive somebody else’s book first, I will review that book first and then move on to yours.

Reviews:

I have a certain style of reviewing books for my blog–I prefer to write slightly informally, in an easy manner, and use gifs. If you wish to use my review elsewhere, then please let me know via email, and I will send you a version of my review that does not include gifs (if you prefer it that way). That is the only thing I will change. Please see my most recent reviews to get a feel of how I write.

I prefer to post my reviews a week before or after the release date, but the timing of when I post the review on my blog will depend on how soon I receive the ARC.

If I accept your book for review then it guarantees that I will review your book as soon as I finish reading it.

I am currently accepting review requests

Please see my Rating System to understand how I rate my books.

Rating System

Rating System

tanazmasaba

Note: I’ve been using the 5 stars rating system to rate my reviews but as from September 2015 I will be using coffee cups to rate books. It’s the same thing basically–three coffee cups is equal to three stars–I’m just simply using a different symbol.

I rate books by judging the following:

  • The writing
  • The character
  • The plot
  • The ending

I may comment on the cover, but a book cover will not affect my review or my rating. It’s the content that matters.

Rating is out of 5 coffee cups.

☕= Terrible. I hated it. Lots of problems Would never recommend it.

☕☕= Bad. I did not like it. Significant amount of issues. Would not recommend it.

☕☕☕= Good, but not great. I liked it, but there were several problems, and I would read it just once only. May recommend it.

☕☕☕☕= Great. I really liked this book. Well written. A few problems, but I may re-read it a second time. Would recommend it.

☕☕☕☕☕= Amazing! Loved it, loved it, loved it. Minor problems maybe, but really enjoyed it, enough to re-read it several times. Would definitely recommend it.

If you are still a little confused about the rating system or have any other questions, feel free to contact me!

PS: Lol is it just me but do these coffee cups look like cakes instead?

The Infinite Playlist: Songs For Favorite OTPs (6th September 2015)

Credits for the banner goes to my 13-year-old sister Tinath Zaeba.

Ever had that moment when you are listening to a song and it reminds of your favorite book? I have had plenty of those so I wanted to make a monthly meme/tag thingy on my blog. This is not an official tag so you don’t really have to do it (although there is a Playlist Book Tag and I think another similar one that Bea from When Curiosity Killed The Cat told me about…I can’t remember the exact name unfortunately) but I would love it if you guys do this too!
