Review Policy Update:
The following places for me to post a review has a required $5 donation (and if the site requires a purchase, such as Smashwords, the cost of the book) per post.
BOOKSHELVES:
Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews has set a new policy for prioritizing reviews. Details for each of the bookshelves are on the bookshelf's section. The following book review requests and the bookshelves priority is as follows:
1- RELEASE DATE REVIEW REQUEST and EXPRESS RELEASE REVIEW REQUEST
2- PRIORITY ACCESS BOOKSHELF (And Priority Access Pass):
3- VIP LEGACY AUTHOR BOOKSHELF
4-AUDIOBOOKS BOOKSHELF
Specific Audiobook Sites
RELEASE DATE REVIEWS BOOKSHELF AND CALENDAR:
Reviews that have a scheduled release date, and Express Release Reviews. Reviews for and Blog Tour Review Dates. (Release Date Review Calendar)
MY PROCESS:
A review is posted, it takes about 60 minutes for the entire process to be complete for one review. (This time does not include the time it takes to read the book and write a review.) Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews does NOT accept payment for reviews. Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews reviews are unbiased and honest. Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews accepts donations or gift cards but not for the exchange of a specific type of review. Donations are NOT considered payment for providing a review and Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews DOES NOT allow the amount of the donation (if there is one) to influence the star rating in any way.
Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews is a proud supporter of the Indie Author Community.
Google Drive: Once a file has been uploaded, it gets moved to a private folder, so no one else but Amy's Bookshelf Reviews can access it.

Just a note that, the official request starts when Amy's Bookshelf Reviews receives the Spreadsheet. However, the receipt of the digital copy of the book (even if Amy's Bookshelf Reviews is purchasing the book on Amazon or receiving a gift of a print book), that date is the initial posting date. This only really refers to Rapid Release, Express Release Dates, and Release Day Reviews.
The Priority Access Bookshelf is a carry over from the Priority Bookshelf. This bookshelf does not require a donation if someone is already on the list shown in the Library. There are several reasons why someone would be on this list, one is that they purchased a lifetime on the old Priority Bookshelf, and two, that the author was referred to Amy's Bookshelf Reviews by one of the publishers on the list. Exceptions may be done on an author-to-author basis. It never hurts to ask. A referred author or one who wants to be included on this bookshelf, must select a Tier, shown in the image to the left.
Legacy Authors
Legacy Friends
--------------------------------------------------------
Legacy Authors (those with at least 2 reviews posted), can purchase a Lifetime Legacy Author pass here. You get a badge with your name on it like the graphic to the left. You get a lifetime (Amy's Bookshelf Reviews lifetime) of book reviews with a Premium Tier for each book's request (Legacy author or Release Date Review). You pay a one-time fee, and then you get all inclusive Premium Tier.
The genres are listed by each book title in between the / /. (F=Fiction, NF= Nonfiction, P= Poetry) This bookshelf is for authors who have previously had at least one review posted from Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews. If an author has a request for one title, and then later decides to add another title, the second title will go under the current author’s title. The titles on this bookshelf will no longer be cycled. A Tier must be selected in order to be on this bookshelf. (The new policy does NOT affect the titles that are already on the bookshelf which ends at the line below.

Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews does listen to and reviews audiobooks. If a print book has already been read, the posting of the audiobook review is a separate review, since there are other things to review such as narration. Audiobooks listed on Audible.com requires either a redemption code or a donation for the cost of the book. Spotify only allows a star rating, not a review posted. The link to the audiobook can be shared on Facebook, and the entire review posted for that date. These books also move in a cyclical motion.
