-CONTENT-
All reviews on What Books Have Taught Me are written honestly by me. I am not compensated in any way for my reviews by authors or publishers or anyone else. This is a place where I will rant, complain or bully tell you to read books that I love. If you don't like my blog, don't read it. plain and simple. If you do, AWESOMEEE! Stay, comment, argue that I just gave your favorite book a crappy rating and make your self comfy. By the way, when commenting, please try to be respectful and not be mean or rude to anyone (or even me). I'm going to have a form open so you guys can tell me that I have no idea what I'm doing how I can improve this blog. I'm new to the blogging community and if you just want to stop by and say simply hi, I'd love even that =D . 



~REVIEW POLICY~
Again, all reviews on What Books Have Taught Me are written honestly by me.

The types of books I prefer:
-This is a Young Adult book blog, so if your novel falls under the YA category, then there is a pretty good chance that I will enjoy it and most likely give it a good review.
 (I LOVE dystopian, paranormal, mysteries, funny, and "edgy" YA the most, ......but WARNING: I don't usually enjoy Non-Fiction or Historical Fiction.)
-I will accept some e-books, but I prefer physical books (partly because I don't own a Kindle or Nook)
-If you are offering a book that is not the first in the series, I ask that you provide any novels that come before it so that I can give a better and more accurate review (unless I have already reviewed the others in the series previously)(If you can't provide the books that come before it, tell me and I'll see what I can do).

If I accept your novel for review: 
- I will definitely review it.
- Honestly, I'm really easy to satisfy, but I can't guarantee a positive review. I have to be honest for my readers, but I will ask you before publishing a negative review.
-At this moment, I can't guarantee a time frame in which I will read and review your book. I am currently a senior in high school (FINALLY!) and contrary to belief, I have a lot of work and studying to do. If you have a specific time you want it posted by (an ARC for example), please let me know and I will make sure I can review it in time.

Giveaways, Author Interviews and other stuff:
-I would love to host a giveaway to promote your book or any book related items on this blog. 
-I would love to host an author interview or a blog tour! If you are interested in an author interview, just email and well set it up.
-If you are an author who would like to do a guest post about writing, your life or anything else, contact me and we'll set it up. (I have the right to decline authors who I don't think are appropriate for this blog-sorry!)

Other Information:
Please contact me first before you send the book becuase I may not accept it. 
If you would like me to also post my review on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads, etc. just let me know.
