Review Policy

Updated: July 22, 2017

I’ve been a lifelong lover of books and often wonder if that’s the reason I was a Literature major. In the past, I have had the pleasure of reviewing ARC’s from the publisher and would love to continue to do so. Discovering new authors and becoming reacquainted with familiar ones is always a joy. Having said that if you would like for me to review a book, please fill out the contact form below. But before doing so please review the following information.

Book Format: I prefer physical books to eBooks. I understand eBooks are the preferred method; however, I just love holding a book in my hand and physically turning pages. So, if at all possible it would be great if I could be provided a physical book but eBooks aren’t deal breakers.

I will do my best to get it read and reviewed within 2-3 weeks of receiving it. Once the review is posted here at The Broken Spine, on Goodreads, and Amazon I will send you an email notification with a link to the reviews.

My reviews will include the following:

The Deets (title, author, publisher, number of pages, etc.)
What Popped
What Flopped
My Thoughts
Quote(s) that stood out to me (if any)

All of the reviews you read here on The Broken Spine will contain 1 of 2 Disclaimers are my own unbiased opinion and as a result, I can not guarantee a completely positive review. My apologies in advance.

Disclaimer for books purchased or given as gifts:

I purchased (or was given) Name of Book on ______ date (that is if I can remember). This review reflects my unbiased opinion and as a result I am not able to promise a wholly positive review. My apologies in advance.

ARC’s will contain the following disclaimer:

I received this ARC from (Netgalley, publisher, author) for free in return for providing my honest and unbiased review.

I love to read most genres, however, there are some that I will NOT read. Below is a Top 5 list of the genres I will and will not read, so please keep this in mind when requesting a review.
