I too have a back list of books to review, (not really interested in them though LOL holding out...) but that is because one specific publisher has asked me to be a reviewer for their books. When I post a review, I am required to put a tag line in the review saying they gave me the book to review. If I was paid (I am not) I would also have to state that under their program. I believe here in America that is actually a law, but I am not sure on that. I comply with out question, cause I think its only fair to the readers to know.
When I review books for anyone else (something I am just now starting) I also disclose that the same way I do for that publisher.
