12/28/2012 I am currently NOT accepting review requests for books until further notice. I need to catch up on my backlog before taking on any additional reading. I WILL consider requests for product reviews and informational articles/guest posts. I will update this page when I am able to take on new titles to review.
All requests for reviews and other blog related materials should be directed to: LibraryGirl@about.me

Book Review Requests: I am always happy to consider requests for book reviews at Library Girl Reads & Reviews. Please contact me at LibraryGirl@about.me with the title, author, and description of the book. If the review needs to be completed by a specific date, I would need that information as well.
Format: At this time I am only able to review physical books (including ARCS & galleys). I may occasional accept an audio book as well. I am currently unable to review books in any electronic format.
Preferred Book Genres: Urban Fantasy, Traditional Fantasy, Young Adult, Cozy Mystery, Historical Fiction, Women's Fiction, Non-fiction depending on subject. I am open to considering other types of books as well so please contact me if you think your book would be a good fit for Library Girl Reads & Reviews.
Items Not Accepted: Erotica or books with heavy or explicit sexual content or any type of 'adult' product or service.
Review Time Frame: If a specific date was requested for a review, I will post the review on that date. I attempt to review books at the beginning of the month the book will be released if I have received it in time to do so. If not, it will be reviewed as close to the release date as possible. Already released books will be worked in to the reading schedule as time allows unless a specific review date was requested. Product/Service reviews will be done within one month of receiving the product or trying the service unless the product/service requires more time to fully evaluate or a specific review date was agreed upon.
Other Product/Service Review Requests: I am currently
expanding Library Girl Reads & Reviews to include products and
services that are not book/reading related. As a stay-at-home mom I am
very interested in anything that makes moms' lives easier. My daughters are 3 1/2 and 5 months so any age-appropriate products will be considered for review.
Other areas of interest include organic/healthy food items,
natural/organic household products, and healthy living products in
general. Please contact me at LibraryGirl@about.me if you have a
product or service you feel would be a good fit for Library Girl Reads
& Reviews.
