Review Requests & Other Policies

As an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction I accept requests for reviews in (but not limited to) the genres listed below. While I prefer printed monographs/books, I also accept ebooks in epub format. I am not equipped to review audio-books.

I do not accept payment for reviews. The reviews are either for books I have purchased or have been won through giveaways, or they have been requested directly by the author or publisher without any form of compensation.

Should I be blessed with people willing to offer guest reviews, they will be obligated to follow the above noted conditions.

At the moment, turnaround is pretty quick, within 2 weeks or receipt of the book. Please send review requests to me - d~ (I know, not much of a name) at Found Between Pages

Reviews will disclose how the book was obtained, format, author and publisher name, and an honest criticism. They may contain a short description of the book and a link to the author/publisher/book's site if available. As I become more familiar with what this blog I will include book covers and other sundries. I do not provide a ratings system and will not indicate whether I recommend a book no matter how much I enjoyed it. I trust that the reader is able to discern whether a book I have reviewed is to their taste.

Genres I accept:
  • Archaeology
  • Anthropology
  • Detective & Police Procedural (cozy & hard-boiled)
  • Epistolaries
  • History
  • Historical Fiction (African, European, Middle-Eastern, North American & Oceanic)
  • Historical Romance (especially, Pirate, Scandinavian/Viking, Scottish
  • Humour
  • Memoir
  • Mystery
  • Military (war, military training, military strategy, conflict, military criticism, special forces, mercenaries, guns-for-hire, post-conflict rebuilding, women in conflict/war, children in conflict/war)
  • Paranormal Romance
  • Political Science
  • Screenplays (though why anyone would have me, rather than a filmmaker read this is beyond me, but it has happened)
  • Sociology
  • Travel

As previously noted, I am willing to read other genres such as General/Contemporary Fiction/Literature, Thrillers, Westerns, some Young Adult and others.

For various reasons I will not review the following:
  • Christian Fiction
  • Erotica
  • Fantasy
  • Graphic Novels - the exception being if it is a Memoir
  • Poetry
  • Religious Texts
  • Science Fiction

If a book you would like me to review does not fall within any of these categories and sub-categories (if applicable) then please let me know and we can discuss whether it is an area that I in which I am comfortable providing an honest review.
