I generally post 3-4 reviews per week with Fridays dedicated to animal causes and welfare (Feline Fridays), and Saturday dedicated to book and author news (Saturday Link Salad).

I am happy to accept solicited and unsolicited books and can be contacted at rhiannonryder (at) hotmail (dot) com.  Unfortunately I can no longer accept ebook review requests.  I do not have an e-reader and am currently not able to spend the requisite time needed to read ebook requests on my desktop at home.

Once received, all review books are read and reviewed in the order I have received them unless a specific timeline is needed for the review or publicity.  If you have a specific time frame in mind please let me know.  I am always reading, and in general, get to new books within two-three weeks, the review will then go up in the following two weeks.

Please be advised that my reviews are my opinions of a book.  I always strive to be honest about my enjoyment of the story and if I don't like it I will say so and explain why.  It is important to me to try to not be excessively negative, and if I don't like the book I do make sure to point out any good reviews or opinions I have seen about the same book.  If I dislike a review book enough that I find I have nothing good to say about it, I will contact the author or publisher it came from and offer to skip the review and offer the review copy out to another blogger, and chalk it up to just not being my type of book.

The Diary of a Bookworm is a member of Goodreads and has a Facebook page.  All reviews also post to those two sites.  I can also post reviews to Amazon by request.

I am more than happy to support blog tours, giveaways, interviews and guest posts in an effort to help you promote your materials.  Please contact me at rhiannonryder (at) hotmail (dot) com to arrange dates and times.

I read mostly YA and Middle School books but also review Adult fiction and Historic Biographies.
