Review Policy

UPDATE ON REVIEW REQUESTS:
AS OF NOVEMBER 2011 MY BACK LOG IS ALL THE WAY TO MARCH 2012 SO WILL NOT BE TAKING NEW REVIEW REQUESTS UNTIL END OF MARCH AT THIS TIME.
I WILL BE HAPPY IF TIME PERMITS IN MY SCHEDULE TO DO A PROMO POST WITH THE AUTHOR IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO SO STARTING FEBRUARY OF 2012. I APPRECIATE EVERY QUERY AND WILL FOLLOW THROUGH AS CAN GET TO YOUR EMAIL AS MY ONLINE ACTIVITY IS BEING CURTAILED DUE TO HOLIDAYS AND OTHER THINGS UNTIL MID JANUARY WHEN I WILL BE BACK ONLINE EVERY DAY FULL TIME ON AND OFF.
Promise that am not ignoring anyone's emails, it just takes me longer to reply as most weekends stay off my computer to spend with my family and Mondays are my clean up house day after letting it go from Friday on. My furry babies track a lot of stuff in a couple of days as do myself and my human family members so have to deal with that before blog duties.
My review policy is simple and is as follows. 

I do read and honestly review books that have been won by me from giveaways by blogs and authors on their contests, I receive no compensation for these reviews. Most of the books on my blog reviews however are books that I have bought and paid for myself and state the difference of whether my purchase, a book from an author to review or a book won in a contest giveaway for review. At this time I am accepting some offers of books to review as this is a hobby and I read as I like for the most part and not because have a deadline. I promise to honestly review any books given to me for that purpose in a timely manner (hopefully within a month of receiving the book unless it needs to wait closer to release date) however do not want to turn my hobby into a job as there are things in real life that sometimes prevent me from reading at all for days at a time. 
I can also now review PDF/MOBI file books on my Kindle as of March 2011....
I post my Author/Publisher provided books for reviews on all these sites as follows if they have a buy link there to post review to:I post the reviews on my blog last on the date agreed to when books are sent to me to be read... Sometimes this may be two months after the request is made or if I have time sooner within a month or a few weeks...My Amazon ProfileGoodreads.comShelfariBarnes and NobleSmashwordsHousewife Blues and Chihuahua Stories (My Blog)
