Review Policy/Contact Me

If you are interested in having me review your book, please contact me at Christina@confessionsofabookaddict.com.

Please note: I do not accept self-published books at this time.

I have decided to only select certain books for review due to my upcoming time constraints.

I post my reviews on Goodreads and I link it to my Twitter account as well as my blog's Facebook page. I use a five star rating system.

I’d love to be a part of blog tours, host author interviews, or giveaways. I am also interested in collaborations and sponsorships.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your interest in my blog!

About Me:

Ernest Hemingway's House in Key West, Florida

A Little Bit About Me:

I am a mother of two wonderful boys and an adorable, very energetic part-husky named Kira. I love to travel, especially when there’s a beach involved. I originally started this blog as part of my professional development plan as an English teacher, to keep up with the books that my students and I read. However, it turned out to be such a rewarding experience that I decided to continue blogging. I have been blogging since December 2009. Some of my book recommendations have been featured in magazines like Woman's World and on Barnes & Noble's website, as well as in newspapers such as Wisconsin's The Chetek Alert.

I am a Pennsylvania certified teacher with certifications in Middle School English Language Arts, English Language, Literature, and Composition 7-12, as well as being a certified Reading Specialist K-12. I am also a member of Sigma Tau Delta English Honor Society and have a Master's degree in Education with Reading Specialist certification.

I had the opportunity to participate in Independent Bookstore Day as a featured blogger at Chester County Book Company. They had a display of my latest recommendations. Additionally, I had the dream come true opportunity to interview Jenny Han in front of a live audience.

I read a lot of advanced copies of books through Netgalley and from various publishers. Feel free to email me at Christina@confessionsofabookaddict.com if you have any questions or connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Thanks for stopping by!

Interviewing the amazing Jenny Han at Chester County Book Company.


At Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, which is home to The Long Room. It's the most beautiful library I have ever seen!

Aloha from Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park on the Big Island of Hawaii.
I am at "Mark Twain's Rock," which is the rock he wrote about in his "Letters From Hawaii."

Highclere Castle (home to Downton Abbey) in Hampshire, England is a dream! I had the opportunity to meet The Countess of Carnarvon. She has written a few books about Highclere Castle and the real Downton Abbey. I was also able to attend cocktail hour in the library (*swoon*) and tour the castle.

Beach Reads

As someone who loves the beach, I am a big fan of beach reads. To celebrate the summer season, I have a beach read feature that lasts all summer long, where I share my favorite books of the summer. I hope that you'll find some great recommendations to add to your beach bag. Below, you'll find highlights and "best of" posts from each year.
