I am more than happy to read & review books by request, whether it is through a publisher or directly the author itself.
Please note, I only accept physical books
I try to read and review the books I receive as soon as possible. But it can happen that it takes me several weeks to get to them.
In case you send me unsolicited books (no matter what kind of genre) it doesn´t mean or guarantees that I will read & review it and that a review will automatically appear on the blog or any other website/social media I am posting.
The books I read and review are either sent from publishers to me in exchange for an honest review, bought by myself, or I won them in a giveaway, a book lottery or simply received them as a participant for a reading challenge. Whatever the source is, I will post the information in the book data section of my review.
However, that doesn´t mean, that I will write anything else but my own opinion in my reviews.
My understanding of reviewing a book is, that I always read it from the beginning to the end, even if I can´t enjoy it. I can´t judge a book I haven´t read entirely and then write a proper review. I have to know the complete book, and not only a part of it – no matter what my opinion, in the end, will look like.
I am well aware of the fact that writing a book means, that an author (he/she) has put a lot of time, hard work, passion, and heart into it. I respect that and will always try to write my reviews in a decent way – even when the review contains my negative opinion.
Therefore, I want to make clear, that my reviews only express my personal opinion about the book itself – not the person who wrote it.
The reviews here at Inkvotary are written in English (see About). In case my review is written because I received a review copy from a publisher or author in exchange for an unbiased review, I will post the German review right underneath the English review. Otherweise I only post my review in the English language. Currently, I am posting my reviews / or a part of them at Goodreads, at the blogs Facebook page, Lovelybooks, Lesejury, and Twitter.
