REVIEW POLICY

Hello! I'm glad you found my blog; thank you so much for taking the time to look at my review policy and seeing if you and I will jive well together.

mignon mykel : reviews is run by a single person (me!).

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

I read for fun. I read because I enjoy delving into the lives of hundreds of characters. I read because outside of the gym, it is my 'away from everyday life' time. I do not read with the immediate thought that I'll be critiquing a piece of work.

As of 10/16/2014, my reviews include:

  • cover shot
  • publisher and publish date
  • genre
  • star rating
  • synopsis*
  • link to author's web page, Facebook, and/or Twitter account(s)
  • my thoughts and opinions on the book; I can be a bit of a summarizer, but I try to only do such with the first 10% of the book
  • purchase links
*synopsis will be taken from Amazon, Goodreads, or author's webpage

I AM OPEN TO ADVANCED READER COPIES & READER COPIES

I am listed on NetGalley; as an individual who loves physical books, I am also open to paperback copies of books. However, with my current schedule I have found eBooks are read quicker.

Also, I am open to independent and self-published authors. If you are one of these, please help me help you by providing a brief bio about you, as well as any links of yours you would like me to share.

TYPES OF BOOKS I ACCEPT

As a primarily contemporary romance reader, I will choose romance over all else. Primary sub-genres include, but are not limited to:
  • Military
  • Sport
  • Contemporary
  • Erotica
  • New Adult

I am a bit picky when it comes to Historical romances, but do enjoy them, as well.

Additionally, I am learning to enjoy BDSM stories; however, my reviews of such tend to be a bit more critical.

I will also likely accept:
  • Young adult
  • Woman's fiction
If you're unsure, ask! If I'm looking for books to read, I will put my hands on what I can get!

WHEN TO EXPECT THE REVIEW
 
I try extremely hard to read the books on my queue in order of their publication dates. Additionally, I try to read books on my queue within their publication month, with the review being posted within two weeks of publication (for advanced copies).

I will always follow up my post here with a Twitter announcement; I am not extremely good with my Goodreads account, but I'm learning to get better.

I will post reviews at least twice a week, but depending on my work schedule, may post as much as daily.

ANYTHING ELSE...?

I love connecting with authors. I am happy to host interviews, giveaways, and promotional posts. In the event of such, and it's not associated with a book I've already read, I do appreciate ample time to read the work and put together my questions or posts.

Thank you!

  1. Hello,

    I am the marketing manager for romance writer Ryanne Anthony.  Her latest book just launched yesterday and we are looking for bloggers who would like to host an author spotlight/book tour.  This is a great way to get people to your blog and super easy.  If you have never done one before, all you have to do is cut and paste either the html or the media kit and add pics.  That is it!  If you don't have a blog, but you do have a FB page, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, or any other social media we would love it if you would help promote this amazing book.  Even just a shout out on Twitter would be awesome.  If you would like an example of one, check out my blog link

    It is a contemporary romance.  Below is the blurb

    With friends and siblings like hers, Kimber Forrest felt like all she had were enemies when dealing with her fractured love life…

    Kimber wanted to be a lawyer almost as much as she wanted Roland Sampson, her older brother’s best friend. After pining for him for two years, Kimber finally accepts that to Roland, she will always be “his best friend’s kid sister” and nothing more.

    During her first year of college, Kimber meets Samantha and her twin, ultimate bad-boy Jaxen Malloy, drummer for Negative Ion. Tatted. Muscled. Beyond gorgeous. Soon Kimber finds herself forgetting Roland and thinking only of Jaxen, much to Samantha’s disappointment. Like Kimber’s brother, Samantha wants Kimber as far away from Jaxen, female enemy number one, as possible since she knew all Jaxen would do is viciously hurt her. Not this time, Kimber insisted. Well-schooled on Jaxen’s reputation, Kimber decides to take what she can get, and ignore all the warnings to stay away from the handsome bad-boy.

    Will Jaxen ever think of Kimber as something other than his “annoying” sister’s friend or could he possibly be falling for her, too? Kimber hoped so and, to find out, she was willing to take the risk of Jaxen breaking her heart… and soul. 

    This can take place any time in July.  Just send me an email telling me that you are interested and a date and I will send the materials right over.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thanks so much!  Also, I am accepting reviews at this time if you are interested.  The reviews can be any time.

    Author: Gray Dixon
    Author Bio:
    Gray Dixon, the nom de plume of erotica writer of hot, sexy stories for the adult crowd, loves walks along the beach at sunset, a glass of wine over a romantic dinner and a night of love. She also writes under the name Cynthia Arsuaga with her husband, Mike.
    On the serious side, she currently resides in Orlando, Florida, the land of magic, surrounded by the treasured gems in her life, a caring, loving husband, dutiful and loyal daughter, and precious, delightful granddaughter. Oh and not to forget her mischievous Silky terrier, Fitzy.
    Many things excite Gray—crafting, watching the History Channel, reality shows (not all, but some), travel, and of course writing. She’s worked hard all her life in many interesting fields and enjoyed all of them, but she finally found enough time to relax and enjoy escaping into the worlds she creates through her stories. She writes contemporary and paranormal erotica with BDSM elements, and hopes readers will enjoy the tales she weaves.
