Welcome to Take Me Away!!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by Take Me Away, where I review books of a variety of genres. My favorite genres are literary and contemporary fiction, though I also enjoy some mystery/thrillers. I also enjoy sociological and psychological non-fiction. Check out the tabs across the top to navigate the site. All the reviews on this site are categorized by title (fiction or non-fiction) or by author. Check out the "About Jenny" section to learn a little more about me. Thanks again for stopping by, and feel free to leave a comment even if it's just to say hi! =)

Review Policy

Thank you for stopping by my blog!

I am currently being very selective about the books I accept for review.  I have a large backlog of books sent to me for review, and I also have an extensive collection of books I have purchased that I am reading from.  If I turn down a review request from you, please feel free to send me requests for other books as I will likely choose to review something at some point.  Please also be aware I am not able to reply to all requests, so if I don't please don't take it personally.

That being said, I also must explain that I cannot guarantee a date for any review (unless I agree to a tour).  Again, I have many books to choose from and am trying to keep reading fun!  I also want to be able to read from the books I've purchase on my own as well.  Please keep in mind that I am one person with various responsibilities and meandering moods.  I do generally aim for a review on the release date/week (if I am sent the book prior to this date); however, it is not uncommon for a book to slip past that date and not be reviewed for the next month, or two, or three.  The books I choose to read truly depend on my mood that day each time I pick up a new book.  I also reserve the right to stop reading a book at any point if I'm no longer interested in it but will try to be fair in my review of it if so.  I also reserve the right to choose not to review a book for any reason.

If you are a publisher or author and are interested in having me review your book after reading the preceding two paragraphs, please send me an e-mail at jennala (at) cfl (dot) rr (dot) com.  Though my favorite genres tend to be literary fiction, contemporary fiction and mystery/thriller, I enjoy reading a variety of genres.  These include chick lit, cozy, memoir, historical fiction, young adult, some non-fiction, and some dystopian literature.  I read very few paranormal/urban fantasy but will every now and then (especially young adult ones). 

With the rare exception, I will not accept self-published books for review.
