She just defaulted to my blog name. There was no effort there. At all. I don't respond to those either.

Typically, I DO want to know why the author thinks she's a good fit for Grab the Lapels.Grab the Lapelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627976543836396851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-58956127522654794072015-07-10T18:22:30.476-04:002015-07-10T18:22:30.476-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.TNBBC Super Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153016306489908880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5304920138891211736.post-23858513975163068732015-07-10T17:54:41.364-04:002015-07-10T17:54:41.364-04:00Oh yeah, you know I get all the crazies. .. the pr...Oh yeah, you know I get all the crazies. .. the presumption is that I should have my address out there so authors could just ship me unsolicited books all the time. The way she pitched me, it's like she wouldn't have even emailed me... she'd just send 'em on over, regardless of whether I'd actually have an interest in them. I really dislike these kinds of pitches. No thought or reasoning behind it. No personalization behind it at all. Sigh.

Other times, they totally make my day.<br /><br />What is presumptuous about the author pitching the books? I get messages like this all the time and thought that was how it worked. Maybe I need to re-do my blog's policy......I did have one guy who wanted me to review his book and thought I was Maya Angelou!Grab the Lapelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627976543836396851noreply@blogger.com
