Review Policy

I love reading, end of discussion. 

If you would like a book reviewed on Little Bird Reads, please review my policy and contact me if you feel it would be a good fit!

The only genres that I do not read and therefore will not review are:
- Religious titles
- General Romance

I am open to all other genres, but that does not guarantee that a pitch will interest me. I will only review books that appeal to me. As my tastes in reading ebb and flow, I am very open to reviewing books across the spectrum!

Since my tastes vary, I think it is beneficial to add in a list of books that I've thoroughly enjoyed.

A smattering of books I love (in no particular order):
- Harry Potter series by JK Rowling

- ROOM by Emma Donahue
- These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf
- One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey
- Dark Objects by Gillian Flynn
- Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
- The Compound by SA Bodeen
- Full Dark, No Stars  by Stephen King
- Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Candy Girl by Diablo Cody
- Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
- Infected by Scott Sigler
- Lord of the Flies by William Golding
- Crazy School by Cornelia Reed
- The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog by Bruce D Perry
- 1984 by George Orwell
- The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks
- Love in the Asylum by Lisa Carey
- Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fischer

As a teacher, I am also interested in reviewing children's literature - picture books to chapter books, I enjoy reviewing stories that I can add to my classroom library! I also have an 8 year old stepdaughter at home who LOVES reading and would love to share her thoughts along side mine.

Included in my review:
- Synopsis
- Image (book cover and often images of me reading the book at home)

Turnaround:
