Finding the authors is one thing, although I suppose I could use Goodreads for that.
Mostly because it's easier and quicker to use a giveaway rather than send x number of e-mails, and I also would feel very pressured to review very quickly if I had requested the book for review. By using an intermediate I feel less pressurised.
