Do’s and Don’ts of Asking for Reviews

Posted on 28/07/2016 by Anne in #books // 5 Comments

Since I keep getting review requests which clearly show the people who sent them didn’t read any of my guidelines at all, yet starting off with ““After reading your guidelines I believe this book would be a good fit for your blog.”…while I’m on a request hiatus…I came across this post this morning and thought it was definitely reblogging material. I’m always honoured to receive review requests but for the love of books, treat me like a person instead of PR-opportunity #1244.

Aha! I met you on Twitter first and asked if you would be interested as an aside. (I did however read your guidelines when you directed me to your blog 😉 )

  Oh, you definitely did a great job dear! 😀 There are just a lot of mass requests being sent out at the moment and apparently I’m not the only one receiving them 😉

If I ever write a book one day, I think you’d be among the few I’d want to review it. But alas, I’m in college and I can hardly manage my time for studying. Hahaha. 🙂

  This comment has made my entire day (or well, a quarter of it so far) ❤
