Our Review Policy

Please Note: We read in Mobi format for Kindle

Welcome to TotallyBookedBlog where you’ll find two passionate readers who would love nothing more than to be able to sit all day to read and review. Sadly, work, friends and family commitments get in the way and as a result there are only so many books we can fit into our reading days, though we’re never without a book in our hands.

At present we do have an extremely high volume of books on our ‘to read wishlists‘ however, if you’ve had a look around our blog and think your story is something we would both love, then we’d love to hear from you.

We never read to a schedule but we do keep a TBR List which we go through to pick our next read – which is based solely on our reading mood at the time.

As much as we would love to, we do not read and review every book we receive. We are grateful you’ve chosen to send us a copy of your novel, but please note that acceptance does not equal a review, but we will contact you when we’ve read your book. We’re always on the hunt for that next kick arse book!

Whether you’re an established or a first time author. Doesn’t matter. For us it will always be all about the books.

What do we love to read?:
Our favorite genre’s are Adult Contemporary Romance, Erotica, Romantic Comedy, Dark romance, Physiological Thrillers, YA, NA, M/M and Paranormal (Mature PNR only). Our reading tastes vary and as long as it gets our heart racing, we’re happy! We love a dark and gritty read that takes us out of our comfort zone as much as we love a sweet, swoony romantic story that makes our hearts flutter or a deeply emotional read that hits us right in the heart.
What do we want to know about your book: The Synopsis. That’s it!! We want to read your book as you intended, page by page with no spoilers so please do not divulge if your story ends in a HEA as this is a spoiler. A HEA is not a prerequisite to us reading and enjoying a story! We don’t want to see or read anything that will take away the surprise element and ruin the story for us. It’s all about the twists, turns, the journey and the destination – reading a story the way the author intended.
How do we review? Firstly, we have a responsibility to our fellow readers to put forth our honest opinions and thus we always review honestly, respectfully and constructively. We review from the heart and place a huge amount of thought, time and effort into our reviews for the books we read as you will see if you follow our blog.
What happens if we start reading and don’t connect to your book? Not every book is going to work for every person and if, for whatever reason we cannot continue with your book we will contact you and advise. We do not review books we haven’t seen through to the end and we do not publish reviews on the blog under 3 stars. These days our reading time so limited and precious, we don’t generally spend time completing a book we’re not enjoying, hence why we don’t rate many books under 3 stars.
What happens when we’ve read your book? We will email you to let you know how we felt about your story and discuss our feelings etc. We will advise the approximate date we will be posting our review and the review will be published on all our TBB Social Media sites including:
TotallybookedBlog
TBB Facebook page
TBBBookclub Group
Twitter
Pinterest
Instagram
Our Goodreads Accounts
Our Amazon accounts.
We will also share all TBB reviews and promotions on our personal social media for maximum exposure.
