Hi,I'm Carien and my loyal pig Sullivan has a blog where he posts reviews of the books we read. I then repost those reviews here on Goodreads.

We read anything that sounds good, but mostly urban fantasy, paranormal romance, scifi and anything with zombies.

Hi Everyone, Avid Reader Book Reviews does offer reviews (unfortunately at this time they have to be scheduled 3-6 months out), but it also posts author interviews, guest posts by authors, offers book doctor and book marketing services and I have recently started a 1/2 format program on BlogTalkRadio based on my blog.My First show will be 5/9 & features Indie young adult mystery author Kelli Sue Landon.

Hi everybody, I blog over at thebookbee, http://thebookbee.blogspot.com, I blog 3-6 times a week(though this has been lacking in the last month as I had no internet connection but this is all fixed). My current turn around time for reviews is 2-3 weeks. I read and review anything that catches my eye and I never stick to one genre. Check out my blog, there is a review policy with more detail and feel free to contact me.

My review/interview site is Flying With Red Haircrow, and we accept all genres on a case-by-case basis, fiction and non-fiction, both traditionally and self-published. We do actively seek indie authors first, however, and also post topics of literary interest. Guidelines and requirements are available on-site.http://flyingwithredhaircrow.wordpres...
We are also a reviewer and on-staff at Queer Magazine Online, for those particularly writing in that genre. http://www.queermagazineonline.com/
I want to thank Carien for reviewing my book on such short notice... and so nicely, too!http://mcpigpearls.blogspot.com/2011/...

Hi, I review books. I blog regularly here:http://phoenix-em.com/mariyakoleva/
I review YA, adventure, fantasy and crime. Of course, I may review something different, too. It all depends on the individual text. No harm asking me ;-)
Hi all! I have recently published my first Fantasy novel, DARK VENGEANCE, and would love to have it reviewed. I can send it in ebook format, readable on Adobe Digital. If interested, just let me know, and I will email it to you immediately. Below is the description.In the aftermath of the Gods-War, Myngor the Dark One, the evil god of hatred and murder, is banished to a small island and stripped of his powers. After 2,500 years, his powers are restored, and he immediately sends his minions out to wreak havoc on the temples of his enemies, the gods of the Pantheon. Joined by the followers of Torkahl the fire god, the carnage begins. Four survivors of this bloody rampage set out to stop the destruction before it goes too far. Though joined by others in their great quest, these four hold the key to defeating the evil that threatens to spread throughout the world, engulfing all in its fiery shadow.

Hello everyone my name is Scott and I am a huge fan of indie books. I started a review blog in January so I am pretty new at all of this. I also do guest blogs and interviews. I am mainly a fantasy/scifi fan, but I'll read everything except erotica and I'm not a huge fan of romance. Http://indiebookblogger.blogspot.com
Thanks
Scott

In return, all I ask is this. If you are one who does reviews, I would appreciate a review. Please email me at crawfishchili@sbcglobal.net. Also, if you read it, please post a review on Amazon. I am currently working on the sequel to DARK VENGEANCE.
Thanx.
I am always looking for books to review! I am open to reviewing all genres of books, but I must say that historical fiction is my favorite! If you are looking for someone to review your book, then check out my blog: http://historicalfictionobsession.blo...I also work with authors in order to do giveaways, interviews, and guest posts!
I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm crazy busy until my book is released June 12th, when I hope I'll be able to join the land of the living again. But I wanted to say I noticed Amazon changed their policy.No tags:(
But you can place reviews without buying the book now, or waiting 48 hours:)
So I've updated all my reviews from here and Smashwords, and now the're on Amazon too:)
Dark Warrior: To Tame a Wild Hawk has been hailed a powerful story!I'm hosting a giveaway for the month of June in celebration:)

Hi, I review books. I am currently sorting out website issues BUT my reviews and ratings are all on Goodreads (out-linked to my blog on previous occasion)...I enter Goodread giveaways to review books ...
But I would totally review anything anyone would like to send my way.
I do have to warn you that my TBR list is intimidating, as well as my Currently-Reading list is huge... I am honest and straight forward and may take breaks from reading different kinds of books.
My THING is Young Adult Fiction. My least favorite is Erotica. But I will read anything.
If I haven't put you off... Contact me for some more chit chat. Take Care.

My name is Morgan Donahue, and I've just published my first indie ebook mystery on Kindle. I would love to have an honest review. If you are interested, I will email you a free copy.
THANKS!
Here's the synopsis:
The Penis Files
By Morgan Donahue
After a powerful senator is murdered, crime reporter Sylvia Juarez receives a mysterious phone call directing her to a copy of a sex blog called "The Penis Files."
An anonymous source tells her the woman who created the sex blog was murdered but police quickly closed the case calling it suicide.
The victim used coded descriptions in her blog of men and their sexual preferences and identified them only by initials and titles such as "Senator" and "Reverend."
She realizes she must decode the identities of the men in the blog to find the killer and get the story of a lifetime...if she lives to tell it.
I'm a blogger/book reviewer and I will read anything from YA to Horror.I am accepting PDFs, smashwords coupons, and print formats.My blog URLs are http://speedyreader-allthingsbooks.bl... and http://chicksinlit.blogspot.com
Hi Tanya ~ I checked out both of your blogs and, this could be user error, but I didn't see any way to contact you about submitting a book for review..?Melissa
Hi folks!I review any genre (except harlequin type romance).
My reviews are posted here http://www.bunnycates.com/reading
I am limited to hard copies only though, I do not own an e-reader and reading on the pc gives me migraines. :(
Paper Mustang here. We do reviews on all genres but poetry and autobiographical. I try to get two out a week but have fallen behind. Generally I'm about 2 months out but moving up fast. I post the list To Be Reviewed on my site and no review disappears ... they are all archived so you will have it to refer to forever. We also have Featured Authors where I go way in depth with the authors and highly spotlight their books. I do one a month.... looking for one for July but haven't spotted one yet.
Last, we do Stang awards where Indie authors go above and beyond just writing the story. These include public outreach or something special that has been done by the author outside the normal publishing and selling of a book. Always on the lookout for these.
I have a form on site you can use to request a review or nominate an Indie author for either the Stand award or Feature Author.

Cheers.

Hey how you doing? I was wondering if your could review my books, Pt. 1 #1 Ancient Warriors in: The Ressurection and The Birth of Heroes (Ancient Warriors Book 2). If you're not too busy write back so you can know what the books are about. If you're not too busy I would like to do an interview. Also, my 3rd book in the Ancient Warriors Series will soon be released. Thanks and God Bless.

I loved browsing through your site :)
Also wanted to let you know that, while sending you a request for review, I encountered a problem with using the link of your email address.
It wasn't a serious problem (the link came out with an extra dot, after "com", and so could not be delivered properly). I just typed it manually, but thought you would want to know and fix the link.
Best regards,
Zoe :)
