Review Policy

Thank you for visiting Mug Full of Books.

I am currently accepting review and ARC copies in physical and e-book (kindle) format. I don’t currently accept self published work.

Personal Note

I adore books and love reading and talking about them. However I am not a professional book blogger, I have a full time (library) job and a young family. As such I don’t have a lot of reading time and select my books carefully. If I don’t think I’m the right fit for your book I will say so.

New/Young Adult

Book synopsis

My email address is mugfullofbooks@gmail.com or through the ‘Contact me’ form. 

Negative Review Policy

As you can see from my prior reviews I do sometimes write negative reviews. My blog and reviews reflect my honest opinions on books and that includes those I don’t love. However negative reviews will never be an attack and will be constructively written. 

DNF Policy

I reserve the right to DNF any books I am given to review. I’m a believer in not struggling through a book I’m not enjoying when there are so many books to read. I do sometimes review DNF books if I feel have read enough to able to give an informed opinion.

Other Information 

I am based in the UK. 

I will review on Mug Full of Books, Twitter, Goodreads

I do not use a rating system on Mug Full of Books, instead I talk about the book and what I did/didn’t enjoy. I do use the star system on Goodreads. 

Thank you for your consideration
