I only reply to pitches I choose to accept.
From 2008-2010 I reviewed nearly every book that I finished. In a policy change for 2011 and beyond, I will no longer review every book I read for a variety of reasons. I may, however, still feature the book and say at least a few words about it.
Generally, I cross post to GoodReads. Please do not hesitate to ask me to post a review that appears on my blog on amazon. I will be glad to do so.

Nice policy statement. I need to revisit mine as well in light of Mt TBR reaching Kilimanjaro proportions!
This is my favorite part ...
If you are offering Catching Fire, the sequel to the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, I definitely want it.
... I don't think I know anyone who would turn down THAT book! ;) I'm hoping to get my hands on a copy myself!
Just an fyi, I gave you an award! http://opinionsofawolf.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/one-lovely-blog-award/
