Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:08:30 +0000 http://bookalicio.us/?p=507#comment-632 I have the same problem. I love it when I get the e-mail that says 'I read your review policy and even though you don't ordinarily review my genre I was hoping you'd make the exception...' or 'I read your review policy, but I saw you reviewed so-and-so's book and its the same genre as mine!' I sometimes want to sit there and reply saying 'I just. don't. care.' but that's not particularly nice to say so I reply back with a nicer response. There is one self-pub author I'm ready to take an iron pan to though, because this author has sent me a request, month after month even though I've sent a negative every single time! In fact in the last e-mail the author started by saying 'I know in the past you have not accepted my book for review, but maybe if you read some other bloggers opinions...' Lexie see Red and wants to smack. Hard. I have the same problem.
