This week’s musing…
I review books that i own, and the occasional book i win. I have been sent two books before by authors that i gladly reviewed and loved!Do you review books? If so, for who?
If not, have you ever thought about doing so? Why, or why not?
I would love to review more books, and i hope in time my blog will attract attention from authors and publishers. But till then i am happy to review what i can :)
What about you?

So do I!
Here is my post!
I found it was matter of just looking for sources and keeping asking. And asking...
When I started, the ARC related threads on LibraryThing.com were a great source of placed to try and get some books from publishers and publicists.
I review of all my own collection as well. I only received one ARC, but I love buying my own books
I review ARCs every once in a while, but can't seem to stay on schedule and usually post the reviews later than anticipated!
Hopefully this will make sense...
In order to make a "proper" link, instead of copying and pasting your link after the ” “> and before the closing [ /a >, you write what words you want to show up… for example: Musing Mondays.
like this...
(hopefully it'll show - I'm using square brackets instead of the pointy ones so that maybe they'll stay instead of disappearing)
[a href="(your link here)"] Musing Mondays [/a]

Just give it time.
I haven't gone the asking route yet. As I state in my musing response, authors and publicists found me. Give it time and you might be surprised at who starts contacting you.
I started out slowly and then gradually started getting requests...here's my story:

I hope so as well. Here is Mine
Ditto but our reasons but wanting to give book reviews are different. Here's mine. Applying Miz B's tip on creating a link.
