I appreciate the offer but for me, at least, I won't/can't accept for several reasons. First, I would feel obligated to write a positive review even if I dislike the book. Second, I would feel obligated to move the book to the top of my TBR list. Third, I never go to Amazon or Goodreads so I couldn't/wouldn't write a review for either of those places. If I really like a book, I write a review at my An American Editor blog. Fourth, I would have to find the book either exceptionally good or exceptionally bad to write a review. For the middle of the road books -- the 2 to 4 star books -- I do not bother writing reviews, negative or positive or mixed.
When the book comes out on Smashwords and if I get reminded about the book and if the price is right, I'll buy it and read it at my pleasure.
