This week's question from Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer (submitted by Silver's Reviews) is about how we turn down reviews.
Since I am fairly new to the book blogging game and reviewing at request, I can not say that this issue has come up too often for me. The thing is, if it has, it is most likely as a result of my own health holding me back from juggling too many (if any) projects at that time. In these situations, I simply explain my limitations to the person requesting and cross my fingers that they understand.
Health Gets In The Way

I Always Forget About Guest Posts
Coming back to the issue of rejecting reviews, I really like one of the things Billy Burgess says he does - he offers the authors a guest post spot on his blog. This is brilliant! Particularly with my issue, this kills two birds with one stone. First, the author gets an opportunity to spread the word about his/her writing using my blog, and second, I get a post on my blog on a day when I am possibly not feeling up to the task! I have to remember the power of guest posts.
For fellow reviewers out there, how do you turn down a review request?
