Disclosure Policy
Last updated: July 19, 2026
My Chaotic Ramblings has been sharing reviews, recommendations, and wonderfully chaotic opinions since January 2008.
Transparency and reader trust are important to me. This Disclosure Policy explains the relationships, compensation, and complimentary items that may be connected to content published on My Chaotic Ramblings.
Honest Opinions
All reviews, recommendations, ratings, and opinions shared on My Chaotic Ramblings are my own.
Receiving a complimentary book, product, service, or payment does not guarantee a positive review or recommendation. I will always share my honest experience, even when my opinion may differ from that of an author, publisher, publicist, brand, sponsor, or reader.
Reviews reflect my personal experience and preferences. Your experience with a book, product, or service may be different.
Review Copies and Complimentary Products
My Chaotic Ramblings may receive complimentary books, advance review copies, audiobooks, products, services, promotional items, or event access from:
Authors
Publishers
Publicists
Narrators
Brands
Retailers
Public relations companies
Other promotional partners
When a book or product has been provided at no cost for review or promotional consideration, that relationship will be disclosed within the relevant post or social media content.
Receiving an item does not guarantee that it will be reviewed, featured, or promoted.
Sponsored Content
My Chaotic Ramblings may occasionally publish sponsored posts or participate in paid promotional campaigns.
Sponsored content will be clearly identified using appropriate language such as:
Sponsored
Paid partnership

Compensation was received for this post
Payment may influence the decision to feature a particular book, product, company, or service, but it will not determine the opinion expressed.
I will not knowingly promote a book, product, service, or company that I do not believe is appropriate for the blog or its readers.
Affiliate Links
Some posts may contain affiliate links.
When you make a qualifying purchase through an affiliate link, My Chaotic Ramblings may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Not every purchase link is an affiliate link. When affiliate links are included, a disclosure will be placed within the post or near the relevant links whenever reasonably possible.
Purchases made through affiliate links help support the ongoing costs of operating My Chaotic Ramblings.
Advertising
My Chaotic Ramblings may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks or other promotional partners.
Advertising content may be selected, delivered, or managed by a third party. The appearance of an advertisement does not necessarily mean that I personally use, recommend, or endorse the advertised book, product, company, or service.
Giveaways
Giveaways may be sponsored by authors, publishers, publicists, brands, retailers, or other promotional partners.
The sponsor may provide the prize, pay shipping costs, and fulfill the prize directly. Any sponsorship or promotional relationship connected to a giveaway will be disclosed in the giveaway post.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, receiving a giveaway prize does not require the winner to provide a review or endorsement.
Social Media
This Disclosure Policy also applies to content shared through social media accounts associated with My Chaotic Ramblings.
Sponsored posts, complimentary products, affiliate relationships, gifted books, and other material connections will be disclosed using clear wording or appropriate platform tools.
A tag, mention, or link to an author, publisher, brand, or retailer does not automatically mean that compensation was received.
External Links
My Chaotic Ramblings may link to author websites, publisher pages, retailers, social media accounts, and other third-party websites for informational or purchasing purposes.
Unless identified as an affiliate, sponsored, or paid relationship, the presence of an external link does not indicate compensation or endorsement.
My Chaotic Ramblings is not responsible for the content, availability, policies, prices, products, or services offered by third-party websites.
No Professional Advice
Content published on My Chaotic Ramblings is provided for general informational, entertainment, and review purposes.
Nothing on this blog should be considered legal, financial, medical, mental health, or other professional advice.
