We find ourselves in need of a few reviewers. We are looking for people who prefer NON-paranormal genres, with our greatest need being for multi-cultural, contemporary and historical readers. Willingness to review eBooks primarily is an absolute requirement. (At least 90% of our total review requests are electronic formats only) If you are interested please submit a sample review and we'll get back to you as soon as we can after we look at it.

A couple changes to our review request policy effective immediately:
We are overwhelmed at the volume of review requests pouring in from a variety of publishers! While this in itself is wonderful news for us and for the publishing industry as a whole, it has made necessary a few changes to our review request policy. See below for the changes...

Authors, are you interested in having your books reviewed here? If so send in your requests. Please include in your queries ALL of the following information: Title, Author, ISBN (if assigned, if not please state none assigned) Publication date (Month and Year), Publisher, Story Description, and what formats the review copies of the books are available in.

PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, we can no longer accept requests without ALL of the above information. If we do not receive all of the required info, the review request WILL NOT be forwarded on for a volunteer. We are still a small site with a large number of requests and can no longer continue to go back and request the additional information left out of the original request.

Thanks! We are still a very small site but we'll be happy to see if we have a volunteer for your books. We cannot promise every request sent to us will be filled, but we will do as much as we can as fast as we can. Also please keep in mind, we will not love every book that comes our way. We will post reviews with low ratings if we truly feel it is necessary.

We are over two years old now and so excited to be able to celebrate with everyone! I thought our anniversary/birthday was the perfect time to reflect on how CK2S came in to the cyber world.

A little about us...
We are book lovers who enjoy sharing our opinions about books and authors with others. We won't love every book we read but if we don't like it, you'll know why. This is a labor of love.

~ * ~

Check out some of the feedback we've gotten about our site! We'll add to this page when comments come floating in.

PLEASE NOTE: With regards to graphics posted on the site the decision has been made that we want to be family friendly, and therefore will not be posting banners, book covers, or other graphics that we consider to be "NC-17" or "X" rated. We won't be posting graphics with excessive nudity. In cases where  a book is reviewed with cover art we do not consider appropriate, cover art will not be posted. We DO review erotica, but we still want to keep this website family friendly in regards to art work.

Our rating system:
5 Klovers - Excellent
4 Klovers - Good
3 Klovers - Average
2 Klovers - You may want to think about it first
1 Klover - Pass on this one

~ * ~

We are more than willing to post author and publisher links free of charge. Please keep in mind we will NOT post graphics that we feel have excessive nudity or would be considered too suggestive. All we ask is that you please return the favor and select one of our banners from our Links to Us page if you are featured on our link page. If you are not on the page and would like to be, please send your banner to Kelley and she will get it posted.

At this time we are not taking interview requests. We don't want to end up being scheduled several months in advance so we are sticking to contacting authors to request interviews with them as we are able. This will possibly change in the future but for now we decided this was the best route to go. We will be scheduling them as we can and as often as we are able.
