Bloggers Who do Book Reviews

Image from freedigitalphotos.net by Digitalart

A while back, I promised that I would share the list of bloggers who joined in the virtual book tour for my debut novel, Mental Pause, and did either an author interview, book review, a combination review/interview and/or invited me to do a guest blog. If you're planning a blog tour, I encourage you to take a look at the blogs you're planning to pitch, subscribe to them, engage with them and, above all, read their guidelines for submitting queries for book reviews. Each one requires a slightly different process and not all of them will be interested in the genre you write, so don't just blast a list. Put some thought into personalizing each query and you'll have a much better return on time spent.

So here's my list... it keeps growing but this is as it stands now. I hope you enjoy exploring these blogs as much as I have:
