I see that you reviewed the book He’s Just Not That Into You before. I have written a book that is similar to that. Would you be willing to let me provide you with a copy of the book in hopes that you would consider reviewing my book on Amazon as well?
My name is Ethan Gregory and the book I want to send is titled I’m Sorry, You Are Not a Disney Princess. You can view it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0996781994
I can provide it to you as a digital file or if you wish, I can even send you a printed copy. It’s up to you.
Of course, I understand that you are under zero obligation to review my book, and if you do review it, you can leave a good or a bad review. I am simply looking for the opportunity to have you consider it.
Thank you. I look forward to your response.

Searching for reviews for a Persephone book led me to your blog. Don't know if you're still reviewing/updating this but I just wanted to say that your lists and reviews are excellent! I hope you got through everything you wanted to this year.
All the best,
AW
