thanks. I started early last year. As an author myself, I came across Goodreads & realised how important reviews are, and so I started writing reviews for books I was reading. I post them on my blog and here.

Sometimes I've had people ask me from my site to review something, but other times it's either a book I get through netgalley (free digital review copies) or else I've come across authors asking for reivewers on Twitter, to whom I contacted & was sent their book.

Some people do charge money & offer their services like that, but I feel that a book is sufficient payment for me.

& there's not really much of a job to steal. the more of us, the merrier. it helps authors and readers and the book industry, I suppose.
