But they are mostly from authors who seems to send the same email to every blogger they come across. Most of the time, I try to reply, but sometimes I just delete the mail..Melanie@thedailyprophecyhttp://thedailyprophecy.blogspot.in/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-45499547876314391442012-04-16T20:55:15.746+02:002012-04-16T20:55:15.746+02:00totally agree with about requests and from authors...totally agree with about requests and from authors.

Now, I get tons of requests and more than half of them I decline or just ignore because they are for genres that I do not read. I recently created a review policy and am hoping that that cuts down on the requests for genres I don't read.<br /><br />I love when the request comes from the author themselves. I've developed some nice relationships with these authors and even with some of the publishers/publicists. It's nice when they take the time to get to know you. Those generic requests annoy me and I usually just ignore them.Kristin T.http://alwayswithabook.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-19590723523585130072012-04-16T19:45:44.977+02:002012-04-16T19:45:44.977+02:00As a fellow 'International' book blogger, ...As a fellow 'International' book blogger, I get you! I'm OK with e-books however, so I get quite a few requests.<br /><br />But I really hate when people don't read your policy before contacting you - it doesn't take long to read a few points!Kat (AussieZombie)http://twitter.com/katlb82noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-89618968451069894362012-04-16T18:10:23.935+02:002012-04-16T18:10:23.935+02:00Awesome answer!

I live in Europe too and feel so awkward when an author offers me a print book and it's clear they don't know I don't live in the US (even though it says it right there in my policy.)Nicolahttp://twitter.com/pocketofbooksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-85391787873039386792012-04-16T15:26:28.291+02:002012-04-16T15:26:28.291+02:00I agree, not reading your review policy, or the fa...I agree, not reading your review policy, or the fact that you are not accepting review requests, really is annoying. Why spend the time mailing out a generic "read my book" email if you know the person at the other end is *not* going to read it! I also agree that polite and professional is the way to go when responding to review requests but I also have ignored the occasional rude, or pushy request.<br /><br />Bonnie @ www.wordsathome.caBonniehttp://www.handsandhome.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-28427748357992226102012-04-16T12:44:32.870+02:002012-04-16T12:44:32.870+02:00Not looking at your review policy is a major mista...Not looking at your review policy is a major mistake. It just wastes time for everyone.<br />I can't believe you still got all those requests that didn't work for you when it was stated in your policy. :-(<br />I try to respond to each request but if it's something that blatantly ignores my policy then I don't bother.
