RATING & REVIEW GUIDELINES

Format, Guidelines and Time Frame

I will accept physical books for review in either hardback or paperback. I will also accept EBooks that can be read on my Kobo (ePUB is preferred. PDF as last resort)

All reviews are of my own honest opinion and my sole property. I have the right to decline any review or material at my own discretion. It generally takes me three to five days to read a book and review it and this can fluctuate a little based on my schedule.

If you are interested in contacting me, you may do so at sourpussreviews@gmail.com or by completing the contact form. I monitor my inbox daily.

How I Review

When reviewing a book, I normally rate the title on a scale of 1 to 5⭐s. This is just what I prefer. So what does this mean?

⭐ I strongly disliked the title, close to abandoning the read or I did (however, I will always make every effort to complete a title).

⭐⭐ I found the title to have a few good points, but not enough to consider recommending.

⭐⭐⭐ I found the title to be enjoyable, but I had higher expectations. Something was missing for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a great title, and I will recommend it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book was fantastic! I may even reread this at some point and I would buy it for a friend.

*Please understand I am unable to accept every review request and cannot always guarantee a specific time frame. Due to the recent increase of requests, I am only able to reply to emails that include titles I am interested in and fall into my review guidelines above. I apologise for any inconvenience. If you are seeking a specific time slot, I am happy to participate in blog tours, blitz, cover reveals and guest posts.
