Why I Don't Do Paid Reviews

According to a short news report I read on Yahoo! this morning, some guy made 28K/month writing positive book reviews that were fake.  I'm aware that there are people out there who write fake reviews, or even legit book reviews for a fee, so I want to get this out in the open right now.

I'm not one of them.

I am not paid per post, per review, per mention, per whatever.  While there is nothing wrong with charging a fee to review somebody else's book, I'm not interested in that because it does create a bias.  I review new fiction because I like reading, I like blogging, and I really like fiction.

Now, if you want me to review your book that just happened to come out, I may be able to do it, for free.  If you want to thank me, you can share my blog on your personal twitter/facebook/tumbler/etc.  I will be eternally grateful.  I will elaborate on this more as my blog grows, but you can always contact me on twitter @russiankatya.
