I am very open to getting unsolicited ARCs, early finished copies, unabridged audiobooks, and backlist books in my mailbox. There is no guarantee that these will be reviewed, but if they catch my interest, I will read and review them.

Bookangel started as a London bookclub's private site to swap book recs and highlight free books. It opened to other users a few years back after realising that there weren't many sites that focus on UK readers.

My name is Tracy and I’m a bookaholic. It’s been 35 minutes since I last bought a book and despite having over 450 books on my kindle, 200 books on my bookshelf I can’t stop buying more books. I receive loads of books to read from the publishers and Netgalley – but will only be recommending the books that I think are brilliant. Some you will agree with me about, and others you will hate – and that’s what makes reading so wonderful. Enjoy!

If you are an author/publisher/publicist/other who wants to promote books on my blog, read on: I accept all kinds of books for review, except for Non-Fiction (unless it is health/fitness related). Once I receive the book, it can take me up to 2 months to review it depending on my TBR list. If your book is a part of a book tour or you want a review published at a specific time, please state it up-front.

The blog was initially designed to share a few thoughts about the books I read and that's the aspect I still enjoy most. I don't give star ratings as my 5 stars might be someone else's 3 so I say what I thought instead, trying to be as honest as I can and I make the review personal to me as a reader. After a few months of blogging I realised just how hard it is for smaller publishers and independent authors to get their books noticed so I'm always willing to feature them if I can.

We review independent authors and presses, as well as traditionally published works. Please be advised, however, that we'll be honest, and just because you submitted it does not mean you'll get a glowing review. If your book sucks big donkey balls, we're going to tell the world. Just kidding. Well, not really. Also, please be aware that submitting a book does not guarantee a review.
