Book Review Policy

The Reader and the Chef is currently accepting review requests on the blog! However, we are only taking review requests for physical books at this time (please keep in mind that we are Mexicans/live in Mexico!). If you are interested to host a giveaway or collaborate for a post in our Bookstagram account, check out our Bookstagram Collaboration Page for more details. 🙂 For booking a tour or cover reveal with MTMC Tours, please check out our website HERE.

Please read more about what we like to read before sending us your review request.

About our reviews:

If we accept your review request, we will make sure to share on our blog and cross-posted to Goodreads and Amazon (sometimes on Barnes & Noble and Kobo upon request).

Either Melissa (the reader) or Isabel (the chef) will be the ones to review based on who is able to read first! We have a big TBR but we’ll do our best to read it as soon as possible.

For review requests, email us at: thereaderandthechef@gmail.com (you can address it to Melissa or Isabel or to us both! 🙂 ). Thank you!
