Oops...<br />(I just ended up ignoring the email because I wasn't sure how to decline politely. I feel like that's not a very nice thing to do though. Hmmm)<br /><br />- Kritika @ <a href="http://spidersilksnowflakes.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Snowfakes and Spider Silk</a>Kritikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264802302099286333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909237727731941116.post-10220787674623912462013-08-19T11:19:06.000-07:002013-08-19T11:19:06.000-07:00Yes!

I've yet to have people try to pay me to review their book (though one offered to send me a paperback of the book if I posted a review), so I guess I'm lucky in that respect! I've had some books that were a DNF, but I usually try to agree to review only books that I know I'm likely to enjoy. Thanks for sharing this post, though. It's a good reminder to at least go back over that page and tweak it again.<br /><br />Laureen @ <a href="http://msbibliophile.com" rel="nofollow">Ms. Bibliophile</a>.Laureen (Ms. Bibliophile)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16514819717129323272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8909237727731941116.post-42695624587016537102013-08-19T10:59:00.893-07:002013-08-19T10:59:00.893-07:00Mhm!

But I understand that this happens.<br />Until now, I thought the review policy section was to let authors know what kind of books I read. But I'm glad I included the part where I state that my opinion will always be honest.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experience!<br /><br />Johanna @ <a href="http://www.http://challengingreads.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow">ChallengingReads</a>Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718465520393534128noreply@blogger.com
