Bookbloggers typically aren't being contacted without their consent. They have an information page talking about what sorts of books-for-review they accept. Authors contacting them appropriately after reading their review terms are not spamming.

Nope. Unsolicited bulk marketing email is spam. Many bookbloggers solicit books for review. And I send unsolicited, specific email to people all the damn time. I sent an enquiry to a company today. They've never heard of me. Oh no!
