Literary and lifestyle blog with a focus on book-related, media-related, and lifestyle content. While a wide variety of genres and age groups will be considered, I have a soft spot for Asian representation and seek to incorporate this in my content. Formerly Bookwyrming Thoughts.

Here at Chapterinmylife I am always happy to accept books for review. Any reviews I provide are only my opinion and are always constructive. I will try my best to explain what it was I enjoyed about the book or why it was not to my taste.

I prefer to review print copies of books whenever possible. I am also able to review EPUB formatted ebooks by special arrangement. Print copies will be given precedence due to the cost involved in getting them to me.

I generally review YA books with the occasional literary fiction (adult) or middle grade review. The books I choose to read are a combination of my interests/recommendations and ARCs that have come into my possession. All finished copies/ARCs received from publishers are reviewed with the same integrity; the sourcing of my copy does not affect how truthful my review will be.
