About Me
I am a thirty-something book lover currently living in the South-West of England. I love to read almost anything Fiction and I’m a glutton for punishment for books with beautiful covers!
Book Blogging Resume

Review Timescales
Please let me know the release date of your book, I will always endeavour to read and review it within two weeks of the release date. If there are reasons why I can’t meet the date (because there are other books in the review queue for example) then I will let you know when you can expect to see a review published.
I will post the review here at Blue Archipelago Reviews and also on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Links to my reviews here are published on Twitter and FaceBook.
Honest Review Policy
I have a duty to my readers to ensure that all reviews I post are honest; if I like your book then I will say so, but if I don’t like the book for any reason I will include those reasons in my review.
Get in Touch
If you have a book that you would like me to review please complete the contact form below.
Please note that I am based in the UK so if shipping costs are an issue you might prefer to send me a Kindle compatible eBook.
I do not charge a fee to review your book.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Clare Swindlehurst
