Being that I am a little slack, I took my time getting to it. What's this, I realised I wasn't special;-0 because as I read the blogger list what did I see, reviews being posted all over.

One "review" post on one blog is a much faster way of reaching potential "customers" than them trying to email each reader individually. They just want your readers' email addresses on their list - so by A Left-Handed Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145550105234839991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3925958115318632100.post-60994575969287691082013-04-19T06:12:36.611-07:002013-04-19T06:12:36.611-07:00I received the invite to 'review' the e-bo...I received the invite to 'review' the e-book also.
