Frequently
asked questions
I’m looking for a book but I have no idea where to start. Help!
You’ve come to the right place! You can search by genre, or A-Z – judging books by their covers is recommended, where my review can provide more information to see if it should be your next read. Alternatively, chuck me an email with some books you’ve read before and liked and I can make some personal recommendations.
Can I send you a book to review?
Of course! I’m always happy to discover new books. If you’d like to send me a copy for review, I’ll provide an honest and unbiased opinion. Feel free to reach out via the contact page!
I'm a blogger, do you accept guest posts?
I’m always open to discussing collaborations! If you have an idea that aligns with Bookmark That—whether it’s a bookish feature, review, or something creative—feel free to reach out. Let’s chat and see if it’s a good fit!
I'm a publisher/author, can I pay you to review a book?
I appreciate these offers, but I don’t accept payment for reviews. Integrity is super important to me, and I want every review to be completely honest and unbiased. However, if you’d like to send a book my way, I’m always happy to consider it for review! Feel free to reach out, and we can chat.
Do you still send out free bookmarks?
Yes! I still send out free bookmarks because, let’s be honest, you can never have too many. If you’d like one, just head over to the request page, and I’ll sort it out for you! Terms and conditions apply.
