Year End Thoughts

Here are a couple links to year end "Best Book" lists for children's books.

Kirkus Reviews

Horn Book
(This blog also weighs in on the It's a Book controversy)

The New York Times - includes It's a Book

[just because a list is here doesn't mean I agree with their choices - just giving my readers a chance to decide for themselves]

Review Policy

I am honored when an author or a publisher offers me a book for review. My approach to these offers is to accept only the materials that sound like something I will like and to review the book as quickly as possible. I will accept electronic or physical books for review.

Not every book works for every reader. Because of this, I will not post a negative review. This could discourage a reader who would actually like the book I didn't care for. Unless a publisher requires a review, I will not post a review on a book I did not like.

At certain times of the year I may take a break from accepting review copies from authors or publishers unless I have a previous relationship with them. This allows for busy seasons at work and for the holidays, and also helps when I have a backlog of review books.

If you have a book to offer, I'd love to hear from you.
