Review Requests

      

 Genres I Prefer 

These are the genres I tend to enjoy the most and will most likely finish in a quick manner, with a positive review the most likely outcome of my reading. (This, however, does not guarantee a positive review.) 
  • Young Adult 
  • Contemporary 
  • Non-Fiction 
  • Poetry 

Other Genres I Will Review 

These are the genres I enjoy, but not all the time. These genres are usually hit or miss for me. 
  • Middle Grade/ Children's Fiction 
  • Fantasy
  • Dystopian 
  • Adventure/Action
  • Fairy Tales/Fairy Tale Retellings/Mythology

Genres I Will Not Review

These genres I almost never enjoy and will not be taking review requests for. If you email me with an offer to review one of these books, I will simply not respond. 
  • Romance/Erotica
  • Religious 
  • Self-Help/ How-To 

Formats I Accept

  • Hardcover
  • Paperbacks
  • Downloadable PDFs
  • ARCs (Advance Reader Copies)

What Do My Reviews Consist Of?

  • Book photography, a brief synopsis taken from goodreads, and my review/opinion on the book. 
  • Please note that all of my reviews are HONEST reviews, therefore I may not like your book and I will write about anything I disliked in my review. I will explain why I disliked your book if applicable, but I will bash no authors in book reviews. 
  • Also, if your book is self-published or not an ARC, it will not get first priority. If you do not indicate a time frame for the the review, I will review the book on my own time. 

What Should I Include in my email?

  • The title of the book, the author of the book, the book's page count, what genre the book is, a brief synopsis of the book, what format you are offering for the book review, and a time frame, if applicable, for the review. 
  • If your book meets all the standards, please email me in the format I have outlined  at craftypalooza@gmail.com.

How Does Unique Formatting in Books Affect Your Reading Experience?

Image
How does the formatting of a book affect your reading experience? I usually enjoy unique formatting in my books, but I recently read the first half of Illuminae before putting it down. I quit reading Illuminae because of the formatting. While the whole book being composed of lab reports, wikipedia articles, and IM messages was a cool concept, it made the story hard to follow. Many people enjoyed Illuminae because of the unique formatting, and others enjoyed it because they thought it had a good story. The formatting, for me made the story drag and I had no idea what was going on until about page 150. The only part I enjoyed was the interviews with some of our characters because it was only then that you really got to see the characters. I enjoy both books that have unique formatting and books that have traditional formatting. However, I think that if a book does have unique formatting, the formatting should add to the story, not take away from the story. When I was reading I

Finding your groove with journaling

Image
When I was younger, I kept a journal, but it was mostly just what I did that day, or anything I was looking forward to in the future. I have recently gotten back into journaling, but I am doing it a lot differently than I used to.  Before you start to journal, you need to figure out how you want to do it and then get the supplies to do so. If you're not sure what kind of journaling you want to do, I would recommend experimenting. If you are going to experiment for a while before you see what you like the best, I would recommend getting a thick and tall notebook. Once you figure out what kind of journaling you want to do (i.e. prayer journaling, bullet journaling, art journaling, collage journaling, workout journal, or just idea journaling), go out and buy a journal that you both like and would work for what you want to do. The only real guidelines I use when picking out a new journal is to get a tall journal if you are going to do collage or art journaling. If you are do

Does This Mean I'm Not A Reader Anymore?

Image
Just by the URL of this blog, you can tell that I really like books, or used to anyway. Yes, I just said I used to really like books. As in used to, which is in past tense. This is the reason I'm writing this post. You may have noticed in the past few months, but I'm not reading as much as I used to. This is not because I have read too many books, or anything like that, but rather that I'm doing other things.  Recently, I have discovered that while I still do really like reading, it's not my life anymore. I used to read for hours upon hours a night, and that was what I needed at the time. However, right now I'm not  gravitating towards books as much as I used to. This is a good thing, as I am becoming more well-rounded with my activities, and I'm developing better relationships with my friends and family. I have gotten into many new activities, such as predictable things for me, like knitting and photography, and some other not so predictable things, l
