Welcome to Always With a Book! As the name implies, I always have a book with me wherever I go. Like any avid book blogger and book fanatic, I enjoy getting books to review. This is something I never even realized was a part of book blogging until a few months after I started my blog.

Hi, I’m Nicola and thank you for finding your way here. Anybody who knows me will tell you I am mad about books and am never without a book on the go. I decided to set up the Short Book and Scribes book blog because I was reviewing every book I read on Amazon and so it seemed like a good idea to have them all in one place. I also really love to connect with authors and publishers. For me, every bit of the process of producing a book is interesting, from the writing to the publishing to the reading.

This site is purely for PBs (picture books)—my deepest literary love. My goal is to create and compile PB-related information that will be of value to writers, illustrators, teachers, librarians, agents, editors, publishers, and publicists who enjoy PBs are much as I do. In many ways, OPB is both a celebration of the picture book community and a curated resource, as well.

It may not come as a surprise to you that I like books and I read quite a lot of them Ð mostly contemporary, literary and translated fiction. I love stories with unreliable narrators and my greatest fear is running out of books to read. I don't accept review copies of self-published books. However, do feel free to contact me with all queries via email or Twitter. Please be aware that I may not be able to respond straight away.

https://novelnovice.com/

The Novel Novice book review blog features primarily Young Adult literature, and select Middle Grade and children's picture books. We very rarely review adult titles that would appeal to YA readers, but not often. We do NOT normally feature or review New Adult literature. Any adult titles we review or feature should at least be appropriate for teen readers.

I am not a professional reviewer, and I adore books, and I see reviewing books as a way to ‰ÛÏpay‰Û for my addiction to reading. Books are a way of learning more about the world, seeing it from someone else's perspective, traveling to different places and times, discovering how other people live.

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.

Hello strangers! This is a space I’ve created to babble honestly about books. I’ll try to avoid going on and on about them like a leaky faucet and keep it a crisp and clean review site…but I don’t make promises I might not (and probably won’t) keep.
