If I cannot finish a book, I may write a “DNF” review, using the publisher’s summary and will enumerate the reasons I could not finish, as well as noting if there is someone to whom I think the book might appeal.

Good Choice Reading :
Administrator: Damaris Cardinali
Review Policy: Good Choice Reading currently has 3 full-time reviews and 4 guest reviewers. Because of this, we always try to keep an open mind in regards to any genre that is sent our way. However, while we’ve reviewed them before, we are hesitant to read Non-Fiction, Memoirs or Biographies. As a team, we strive to make sure that any book offered to us ends up getting a review. If, for example, one of our reviewers has a hard time finishing a book, we will pass it along to another reviewer who might enjoy it more. Good Choice Reading reviewers might pass along your book to each other, but unless there is a giveaway, we will never pass the book (especially an ARC) to anyone outside of our team. Rather than post scathing reviews, Good Choice Reading reviewers reserve the right to decline to review a book if no one on our team has anything nice to say. It is our goal to help authors promote their work with positive feedback and endorsement, not to criticize something they’ve worked hard to produce.

Review Policy: click to read our review policy
Why We Use NetGalley: NetGalley allows us to receive galleys from a variety of publishers and read those galleys on our e-readers. Plus, while I do have a US address, my main address is an international one, so NetGalley is convenient.

Administrator: Michelle Smith
Review Policy: click to read our review policy
Why We Use NetGalley: NetGalley is an easy way for me to find out about upcoming books for release. It is easier to download the book to my ereader and review it, then easy to delete.

My Bookish Ways :
Administrator: Kristin Centorcelli
Review Policy: I'm happy to consider all requests that fall under books that I accept. I'm also happy to accept digital galleys via NetGalley. However, due to the immense size of my TBR pile, if you haven't heard from me in 3 business days or so, you can assume I'm not interested (or have finally been overtaken by my book pile). I DO love hearing from small presses, so please don't hesitate to contact me. I normally DO NOT accept self-published titles but wish you all the luck in the world! In addition to posting reviews here, I post them on Goodreads, Amazon, Librarything, Facebook, and Twitter.
Why We Use NetGalley: I love the idea of being able to review with out my book pile getting out of control!
NightsAndWeekends.com :
Administrator: Kristin Dreyer Kramer
Review Policy: We happily accept review copies of all formats. We try to fit in as many reviews as we can, posting them as close to the release date as possible, though we can't guarantee that we'll be able to review each book that we receive. All reviews include a purchasing link (typically an Amazon link and an e-book link). We are also interested in hosting book giveaways.
Why We Use NetGalley: Since we have a number of reviewers located around the country (and some elsewhere in the world), NetGalley makes it easy to manage review materials in a variety of genres from a variety of publishers.
Night Owl Reviews :
Administrator: Tammie King
Review Policy: We review advanced copies as well as titles already on the shelf. If you would like to submit a title for consideration please submit an open widget to NightOwlReviews@gmail.com. Put the words "NetGalley Requested Review" in the heading as well as the book title and author. We are not able to guarantee any particular book a review. Each of the reviewers selects what they want to review from an available to review listing. Once a book has been reviewed we contact the publisher with a copy of the review. If we have the authors email address we also send them a copy. In the case of advanced reviews we hold the review and have it show up on our website near the release date.
Why We Use NetGalley: We use NetGalley as a location for review copies as they have a good relationship with a wide range of publishers and carry a wide range of genres.
Novel Chatter :
Administrator: Karen Purvis
Review Policy: I take every request into consideration, but don't promise every book will be reviewed. I am happy to receive ARCs that are bound or in digital form that is readable through NetGalley or using Adobe Digital Editions. All reviews include an image of the cover art, details including author, publisher and pricing. Reviews are posted to the blog and a link to the review will be emailed to the publicist, publisher and NetGalley review page. I post to Twitter with a link back to my review and cross-post on Amazon, GoodReads, LibraryThing and since the demise of Borders, I will begin posting again to Books-a-Million and/or Barnes and Noble.
Why We Use NetGalley: It's simple, easy to use and provides reviewing bloggers with an easy-to-access library of books from multiple publishers. While I love the printed word, the quick access to e-galleys is just brilliant!
Novelspot :
Administrator: Allie Bates
Why We Use NetGalley: It is a pleasure to be able to have access to the best books by the best publishers!
Novel Reaction :
Administrator: Jessica Williams
Review Policy: As we all know, you can’t judge a book by its cover nor can we judge the graphic content of a novel based on the cover. Novel Reaction provides a graphic rating so readers can pick up a novel without having to worry about not knowing the graphic content in addition to providing a "like" rating.
Why We Use NetGalley: Convenience, my reviewers are scattered across three different states and most of them have ereaders. It is much faster for them to review an ebook than wait for me to receive the physical copy of the book in the mail only to turn around and mail the book to them.
The Outhouse :
Administrator: Jeremy Shane
Review Policy: We attempt to review as many books before release as possible, though we normally request books we will consider submissions. For comics we review nearly any (individual issue) submissions and as many graphic novel submissions as possible, we also welcome independent publishers.
Why We Use NetGalley: To help us discover books we may not normally come across in the mainstream and to network.
Ramblings From This Chick :
Administrator: Danielle Gorman
Review Policy: All reviews are posted on Ramblings From This Chick, Amazon.com and Goodreads.com. Occasionally some reviews are posted on the following blogs, Tigris Eden's Garden of Books and Romantic Crush Junkies E-Zine. All reviews posted are written solely by myself and reflect my honest opinion and feelings.
Why We Use NetGalley: I use NetGalley because I like that it's relatively quick and easy to obtain a digital copy rather than waiting for one in the mail. It's cost effective and I just love reading on my Kindle. I like that there is such a wide variety of titles to chose from that can be requested with just one quick click.
Reading Reality :
Administrator: Marlene Harris
Review Policy: If your book is the latest book in an ongoing series, please let me know upfront. I like to read series in order. If you have book 2, we can work something out. If you have book 25, and it's a series I've never read, that could be a challenge. If it's a series I've always meant to read, it may be a challenge I'm eager to tackle. I prefer ebooks, but I will accept print books. I have an iPad, so any ebook format you can send, I can handle. In special circumstances, I might be willing to take an audiobook. I love them, but it takes more time to do them justice. I review on the letter grade scale, A-F. If you think I might like to review your book, please contact me at marlene@readingreality.net or on twitter @readingreality. Let's talk about it.
Why We Use NetGalley: NetGalley allows me to get a wide range of galleys on my iPad, things that I would never be able to see otherwise. I find out what's coming out, and I get to read and review it ahead of time! Wow! It gives the publishers a chance to promote books to a broader range of reviewers without printing galleys or postage. This is a win-win!
Red Hot Books :
Administrator: Jen Martin
Review Policy: I read about a book per day. I review every book that I read, whether it's an older or newer title. Not all of my reviews are positive, but when writing a negative review, I strive to explain why the book did not work for me as clearly and objectively as I possibly can. I do not accept every review request I am sent, but I do read and consider every inquiry.
Why We Use NetGalley: NetGalley is an amazing source which allows me to seek out new titles that interest me, in a manner timely with their release. The e-format is ideal for someone like me, who goes through a large volume of books.
Rex Robot Reviews :
Administrator: Julia Sutch
Review Policy: All reviews are posted on RexRobotReviews.com, Amazon.com and Goodreads.com. Rex Robot Reviews also hosts interviews, guest posts, and giveaways. We believe in giving fair and honest reviews!
Why We Use NetGalley: NetGalley has been an absolute dream- reduces my carbon footprint and makes reading much more convenient. Ebooks are ideal because we tend to travel a lot. I love NetGalley!
Romance Around the Corner :
Administrator: Brie Clementine
Review Policy: We are fans of Romance Novels and we review books that are either part of the genre or that have strong romantic elements. Our reviews reflect our honest opinions of the books we read; we try to give a detailed explanation of what we liked and didn’t like. We prefer e-books. If we agree to review a book, that review will be posted no earlier than two weeks before the release date. Once the review is done we will send it to the publisher via NetGalley, or to the person requesting the review (author, publisher and/or publicist). We also post our reviews at GoodReads.
Why We Use NetGalley: NetGalley is a convenient and useful source of books. It gives us the opportunity to read and review a wide variety of books that otherwise we might not be able to read. We are happy to see some of our favorite authors and publishers, but it also introduces us to new ones that have become favorites as well. Also, as lovers of e-books, we couldn’t be happier to have such an incredible amount of titles just one click away.
Romance Books Forum :
Administrator: Alix Taylor

Why We Use NetGalley: Ease of handling galleys for reviewers.
Smexy Books :
Administrator: Mandi Schreiner
Review Policy: The purpose of our reviews is to engage our readers in honest discussion of romance (all sub-genres) and urban fantasy books. While we are eager to try books based on blurbs that appeal to us, not every request will be reviewed.
Why We Use NetGalley: We prefer electronic arcs. It not only helps save on shipping costs, but it is a much more efficient and organized way to get the arcs out to the reviewers.
SnarkyMamma :
Administrator: Teri Crosby
Review Policy: We review YA, PNR, UF, Romance and Children's books on our blog as well as posting reviews on Goodreads, LibraryThing and online through retailers: Powells.com, BN.com, and Amazon.com. We post within a week of publication date or as otherwise instructed by the publishers. On Reviews we post Title, Author, Publisher, the book description and regularly links to order the book through online retailers.
Why We Use NetGalley: We use NetGalley because it is an amazing resource to be able to review books from. While we love our printed books and ARC's the ability to transfer these books to our phones or kindles has been an great aide to get the news about new releases to the public. It is a great site that is user friendly and the publishers are amazing with the books they put out for use to review.
The Story Siren :
Administrator: Kristi Diehm
Review Policy: My genre of choice is Young Adult Fiction. Although I will occasionally read and review other genres. Reviews are posted as close to the release date as possible. I reproduce all reviews on Goodreads, as well as cross-promote on Twitter and Facebook.

Truly Bookish :
Administrator: Novia Chang
Review Policy: I review books personally for my blog and professionally as a freelance writer. I am happy to accept and review copies of novels, participate in blog tours, author interviews, guest posts and giveaways to promote books. My reviews focus mainly on YA literature and I accept ARCs/galleys, bound books and ebooks from authors and publishers. At this time, I am not accepting self published novels for review.
Why We Use NetGalley: NetGalley allows me to discover new books and authors and gives me the opportunity to promote books before they are published. Publishers have such a limited amount of printed ARCs which I know are expensive to produce and mail. Printed galleys are great but I don't need to have a printed copy of a book in order to review it. NetGalley gives me quick access to a wide variety of galleys that I may not have been able to review pre-publication otherwise. Love that!
Two Chicks On Books :
Administrator: Jaime Arnold
Review Policy: Our reviews will include: Title and author, cover art, synopsis from Goodreads or publisher/author's website, our review, the source from whom we received the book, links to Amazon, B&N, etc. Note: We do not use a rating system for our book reviews. We will use a star rating on Goodreads. We try to read and review all ARCs before their release date. If there is a time preference, please specify in your request. Please take into consideration that all requests we accept do not guarantee a review post. We try to be honest and fair so if we don’t finish the book there will not be a review.
Why We Use NetGalley: We use NetGalley to support publishers and authors. We both have kindles and we love using them!
