Review Requests & Policy

Thank you for taking the time to get acquainted! I'm a full-time work at home Mom, Avid Reader, and Book Blogger with a Master's degree in English Literature and History. I am more than willing to work with Authors, Publishers and Publicists seeking book promotions on a selective basis as my time permits and only if the book itself has been through a professional proofreading/editing process.  I enjoy reading a very wide array of genres and I will consider the following for review here on The Cottage Bookshelf:

• Cozy Crime Fiction
• Historical Fiction
• Inspirational Fiction
• Mystery And Suspense 
• Romance (Contemporary, Historical, Inspirational, Romantic Suspense, Western)
• Women's Fiction
• I will also review the above in Audiobook formats as well

**Please note, I do not review Erotica or LGBT novels

Review Ratings:
There is really no special formula used here when I rate a book and to keep things simple, I use the same rating system found on GoodReads:

• Five Stars:              It Was Amazing!
• Four Stars:              Really Liked It
• Three Stars:            Liked It
• Two Stars:              It Was Ok
• One Star:                Didn't Like It

My reviews can also be found on Good Reads and Amazon
