Hello Authors and Publishers,
My name is Cassandra. I am an autistic, book loving, 20-something year old. If you would like for me to read and review your book please read below and shoot me an email Here!
**I am not currently taking any e-book reviews.**
When I review books, I want to give other readers an honest opinion. I will not be bribed or offered money for any books that I promote/review. Meaning I will not be paid just to give you a good review. It is dishonest. I don't receive anything but the feels when reading books for review. I buy all books I review unless otherwise stated.
****I will not take down any reviews because an author doesn't like it. You ask for an honest review, I will give it. Everyone has their own opinion on a book they read. Not everyone will read your book the same. Some may love a book I didn't like while others will hate a book that I love! Understand that if you ask for an honest review I will give you one. Any book under two stars will be reviewed on the blog, but I will mark it as such on my personal Goodreads page without link to review****
These are questions I ask about every book I consider to help determine how likely I am to read it.
- Genre: Fantasy, contemporary, paranormal, other?
- YA, NA, or Adult?
- Currently available? If not, what is the release date?
- How long is the book?
- Standalone or part of a series?
- If a series, are they interconnected standalones or one continuing story?
- If a continuing story/series, is this the first book of the series? (If it is not the first book, please send the first books of the series so I can review it honestly. I cannot review the book honestly if i have not read the first books. - if you aren't sure, please ask in the email)

Giveaways & Promotions -
If you would like me to do a giveaway for your books please let me know in the email.
However, the sending of copy to the prize winner should be your responsibility. Giveaways that are open internationally are welcome, but is not necessary (it’s expensive, I understand). I will post the giveaway on my Twitter and IG pages. Once winners have been chosen I will notify you of the winners and their addresses.
*I will not promote your book, unless I have read it and enjoyed it. Even then, it is at my own discretion. Please do not send me an email just to promote your book. I will ignore the email. However, if you want me to review it and will give a review copy beforehand I can do so. Not until I have read the book, will I promote it.*
