Yes, I review almost everything--fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for adults or children--except self-published books, because I've reviewed mainly for mainstream media (newspapers, magazines, major websites) that generally don't review self-published books. But a lot of blogs or other media *will* review self-published books. Here's a starter list of some that do from the Reedsy, one of the best websites for writers https://blog.reedsy.com/book-review-blogs/.

I've done a number of posts on the realities of being a book critic, which I'm hoping to pull together into a coherent list at some point. There's so much misunderstanding about what professional book reviews do and why they do it.
