About My Reviews
My reviews include a rating on scale from 1 to 5, the release date, where you can find the book, and a synopsis. My reviews also include whether I would recommend or not recommend reading it (bookmark or bin it). All of my reviews are my honest opinions about the book and contain a plot summary with quotes from the book and some spoilers. Feel free to take a look at a previous review and my rating system.
Once the review has gone live on my blog I will email you with a link to my review. I will also tag you on Instagram (Bowers Bookmarks) in any posts about the review. However, if it is a negative review I will not tag you on social media, but I will still email you the link to the blog post.

Reading and reviewing books is not a paid job for me. I love reading and genuinely want to discover new authors and books. With that being said, I have a full-time job. I will try my best to respond to every request in a timely manner and review books within a month of receiving them. I also reserve the right to stop taking review requests at any time, so please check back to ensure I am still accepting review requests. I am just starting out so please be patient with me!
Additional Information
- Where else will my reviews be posted? Goodreads – my Goodreads ratings are a condensed version of my blog posts.
- What if I do not enjoy the book? I write honest reviews of books even if I did not enjoy them, and I provide specific reasons as to why. Please keep that in mind when contacting me about reviewing your book.
- What if I did not finish the book? I will email you and let you know that I did not finish reading it, and I won’t write a review of the book.
- When will ARC reviews be published? Because my reviews tend to contain spoilers, I will not publish the review until AFTER the book is released.
- Where else can you find me? I am on Instagram under Bowers Bookmarks and Goodreads (Kimberly Bowers).
