January, 8th, 2013 - I've CLOSED my Requests for now. I have SEVERAL books on queue to be reviewed and MANY more on my inbox that I want to accept, so I can't receive any more requests (I can't resist accepting them). Please, come back in a few months and I can help you. Not now, please, as I'm working things out.
Hello there!
I never thought I would need this, but I figured it would be best of if I did this earlier than later.
I have a review policy - I am officially a grown blogger.
As of August 2012 I have officially changed my Review Policy.
- I do review e-books now. However, I am much more picky with them. With paper books I will read almost any sort of book, almost any genre (save the ones listed further down), but with E-books I will only pick what really makes me think "OMG I NEED TO READ THAT" since it takes me much longer to read on my cellphone.

- For that reason, I am shutting down the Unread Interview Project.
- I have no issues with indie authors. I prefer, if I can, to read your work on paper, but if you are a digital-only author, I can work with that too, if you are really good.

- I review all genres of fiction (except for the very small list on the next item) that I can get my hands on, but my favorites are fantasy (high fantasy, paranormal romance, urban fantasy, everything), sci fi and historical fiction (anything based on history is awesome). My least favorites are drama and non-fiction. I do review those aswell, but there might be a higher chance of a "loving" review if it is the first ones. I am a bookworm, though, and am willing to try every genre presented to me. For e-books, I will only accept the ones on my "love" genres or things that are related to those genres.
- I do NOT read Self help or highly religious books (christian fiction). I do NOT read non-fiction. Books that talk about religions, discuss it or try to make a small religious moral by the end are ok, but a book that is Christian-religion-centric is not - there must be a plot, characters and all well developed that is NOT centered around religion. For some idea of what is ok, read my review of The Job. That one was good. Also, other religions are usually ok, I am very interested in studying other religions.
- It may take up to a month for me to answer your review request. I know, too long. I swear it isn't that I am ignoring you, everyone has to wait, I just don't have as much time as I used to, to reply and all, so I just answer them all at once. I try to concentrate my time on blogging (and not even THAT is working as it should).
- I live in Brazil. So if you are sending a book here, it will, most likely, take a month to get here. I read review books as soon as they get here, but when I receive more than one, they get read by "first come first serve" so yes, it may take a while for me to read them and then some to review, but it WILL be done. It will not be forgotten. That's something I made myself promise me when I started blogging.
Anything else I didn't cover here or even to discuss any of these guidelines, please, feel free to email me.
