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

I started book blogging back in January of 2008 and since then I have reviewed more than 130 books. Blue Archipelago Reviews has an average of 8,000 unique visitors each month. More than 140 people subscribe to my RSS feed.

Review Copy Formats

I am happy to read review copies in the following formats:

• Galley
• ARC
• Finished Copy (Hardback or Paperback)
• eBook (Kindle compatible format)

Review Genres Accepted

My taste in books has expanded since I started Blue Archipelago Reviews and these days I’ll read almost anything. I prefer Fiction over Non-Fiction.

• Contemporary
• Historical
• Memoir
• Fantasy
• Paranormal
• Crime
• Thriller
• Short stories and anthologies
• Urban
• Dystopian
• Young Adult
• Graphic Novels

If your genre isn’t listed feel free to contact me anyway, you might be able to introduce me to a new genre!

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
