Review Policy

Thank you for considering me to review your book!

I am currently NOT accepting books for review at this time.

If you are a publisher or a published author who is looking to have a book reviewed, please send an email to readerrayna[at]gmail[.]com. In your email please include the following:

  • Book title and synopsis plus any relevant information
  • Author and author website (if applicable)

  • Why you think it would be a good fit for me to review.

The formats I am willing to accept are:

  • Physical books and ARCs
  • ebooks in .mobi, .epub or PDF format – .mobi preferred

Any other format I will not accept.

Please note that any request for review that I receive will be taken under consideration, but not all requests will be accepted. Also note that I have the right to deny any request sent to me as I am a working adult with a busy schedule. With that said, I will do my best to have a review up in a timely manner, but as I read based on my mood, it may come later than anticipated. ARC reviews will be posted close to or on their release date.

All reviews are posted here on my blog as well as on Goodreads, and possibly on StoryGraph. Each review will be my 100% honest opinion, so a negative review may come as a result.

★★★★★: Loved it to the moon and back and will highly recommend it.
★★★★☆: Enjoyed it, but a few things didn’t click.
★★★☆☆: It was an okay read, and I may have liked it, but several things didn’t click with me.
★★☆☆☆: Didn’t really enjoy it, but I gave it a shot. Probably not for me.
★☆☆☆☆: Didn’t like it at all. Most likely DNF.
DNF: Did not finish the book.

My rating scale can include quarter and half stars as I feel is necessary.

Welcome to Reader Rayna, my little spot on the internet where I like to talk about books and bookish topics and discussions. I hope you find a review helpful, a weekly tag fun, or that you join in my discussions from time to time!
