Review policy and contact information

RATINGS:

1 out of 4 - This book just didn't work for me.

2 out of 4 - This book just wasn't for me but you might enjoy it.

3 out of 4 - Liked it overall but it had a few minor issues....like pacing/ending/one annoying character.

4 out of 4 - I loved it! I will hug it and squeeze it and keep it and probably read it again!

REVIEW POLICY:

I accept review requests for the following genres:
*YA of any genre - I am currently participating in the 2012 Debut Author YA Challenge hosted by The Story Siren
*Urban Fantasy
*Romance - Paranormal. Chick lit, and contemporary romance with a good dose of humor are my preferences occasionally some Historical Romance.
* I (as a general rule - there have been a few exceptions) don't enjoy fantasy or erotica.

Formats:
I accept both paper books and ebooks (I have an iPad, Kindle) My preference is either .pdf's or hardcopy.

Posting reviews:
All reviews are posted on my blog, Goodreads, and at Amazon

My husband Kevin also reviews books for this blog: His preferred genres are mostly horror/zombies but he has been known to dabble in a little YA/Paranormal and History. His reviews are linked in the Book Reviews button under my header - "reviewed by Kevin" after the book title.

Review Requests:
Email me at fwiw.kea@gmail.com with any requests to read/review your book. Please include a brief description and website if applicable. I will be happy to discuss if your book is a good fit for my blog. I reserve the right to not do a review. If I do agree to review your book it will be an honest review - either positive or negative. I will try to post the review in a timely fashion but I have an ever growing TBR pile to read/review so I can't guarantee a specific time frame for posting your review.

*Note: My review pile over-floweth.... There is unfortunately no way I can read and review that volume of books plus read for pleasure so I am becoming very selective in which books I accept for review. 
If I do accept your book for review there is currently a 2-3 month wait time before I can read/review your book. 

Where to find me:

Thank you for considering For What It's Worth for reviewing your book!
