My World...in words and pages: Review Policy

**Note: If I've received a book for review & not reviewed it yet, I'm sorry. Life has become difficult in the last several months and things are moving rather slowly. I'm working at trying to balance life and reading at the same time. It will take time, but I'll get to the books. If you would like your book returned, please send me an email with an address and I'll return it for you to send to another reviewer. I know reviews are important with selling books. I completely understand.

My shelves are stacked up and I need to get caught up. But feel free to contact me. Life has become rather busy with family and work. My reading time has become limited. If I can slip you in, I'll try.

I'll review audiobooks, podcasts, and print books.

I work with both publicists, authors, and narrators alike. No preference.

The genre I review here on My World...in words and pages is Fantasy. Fantasy is rather broad. So a few of the categories I touch on:

Urban Fantasy
Fantasy
Dystopian

And just a few books in:

Science Fiction
Paranormal

I also review YA books in these genre as well.

I try to get through books as fast as I can, but I am only one person who works and has a family as well. I will try my best to get through the books timely. I try to read books at a time that I will get the best feel from the book, meaning if I'm worn out and drained I might pick up a different book so I get the best happy feel from your book when I do read it.

I will take the books I receive for consideration to review the book in a kind honest review. If for any reason I can't finish the book, or not find favorable, I will respond to you and let you know I will not be posting a review. If I can find another reviewer who fits the book, I will pass it on.

I post my reviews in numerous places (if book available on the site):
Amazon, Powell's Books, Barnes & Nobles, Goodreads, LibraryThing, Kobo, iTunes, and BookLikes. If I'm reviewing an audio book, I'll also post on Audible (as long as I have the audio book in my Audible library).

I link to my blog post through: Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to meeting you,

Melissa

Quotes from Books, which caught my eye...

"It's always Ragnarok. Regular mortals have the power to blow the world sky-high and all the major supernatural factions can do the same. The thing is, though, as long as people want to live then you're going to have people stepping in the way of those who want to do something to blow us up. That's the only way you can endure it." Ben Talbot, By C.T. Phipps in Esoterrorism

"Be that as it may, we were--and no doubt, still are--held under scrutiny, with that whole Phoenix Society brouhaha. It is imperative we remain on our best behaviour, a feat that you did not exactly manage effortlessly with your shenanigans in Edinburgh." Wellington Books, By Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris in The Jaus Affair

"Remember this always: the fly, even in paradise, must always exist on shit." By Frances Pauli from The Fly in Paradise

"'In hundreds of years,' she continued, voice darker and sober now, 'I've only let myself love two people. You don't have that kind of time, though. You're mortal. You don't get to make a lot of mistakes before you kick it and if you wait, you get screwed over.'" By Skyla Dawn Cameron from Hunter

"...But I don't want you to be afraid to take risks. If it's worth it...If the person in his eyes is the person you want to be, the person you know you could be...then don't be scared..." By Nicole Peeler from Tracking the Tempest

"We are what we choose to be, girl," she said. "Let others determine your worth, and you've already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves..." By Peter V. Brett from The Warded Man.

"There are no honorable causes. There is no good or evil. Evil is only what we call those who oppose us." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising.

"That we are both right. One truth doesn't refute another. Truth doesn't lie in the object, but in how we see it." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising..

"Death is real, irreversible, and awful. Do you want some advice? Don't wait until you're dead to try to communicate. Do it now. You still have a chance. Not a great one, but a better one than you will have. If you think it's hard to get your point across now, and that no one really understands what you're about, just try it when you're dead." By Alexander Jablokov from Brain Thief.

"I wasn't running now so much as stumbling quickly, panting like a geriatric lion." By Nicole Peeler from Tempest Rising.

"Watch for the ones who leave your mouth hanging open. Study them, find out what they love and what they fear. Dig the treasure out of their soul and hold it to the light." He leaned in even closer now, so that Neb could smell the wine on his breath. "Then Be like them." By Ken Scholes from Lemantation.

The truth, the Seventeenth Gospel said, is a seed planted in a field of stones beneath a stone and guarded by snakes. To have at it, be strong enough to move the stone, patient enough to dig the hole and fast enough to dodge the viper's fang. By Ken Scholes from Lamentation.

I took a deep breath, "I took the nahlrout because I didn't want to faint. I needed to let them know they couldn't hurt me. I've learned that the best way to stay safe is to make your enemies think you can't be hurt." It sounded ugly to say it so starkly, but it was the truth. I looked at him defiantly. By Patrick Rothfuss from The Name of the Wind.

"We can be strong in the face of kings and priest, my lady," Ashe replied, "but to live is to have worries and uncertainties. Keep them inside, and they will destroy you for certain-leaving behind a person so callused that emotion can find no root in his heart." By Brandon Sanderson from Elantris.
