I will look into that. There are so many books that I can't afford, but want to read and a bunch of those 'wants' are specifically related to my blog. Thanks!! I will look into that.

I've found that generally if you find a recently published book and get the name of the publisher (usually pretty easy to do on Amazon), you can go to their website and search for their contact section, which usually has info on how to request review copies. Sometimes they want you to write to individual publicists, sometimes they just have a general email, but I've found that most of them are pretty helpful and eager to send out books so long as you mention the name of your site, tell them you're the editor, and explain briefly how the book fits into your subject matter. Cleis Press, for instance, is very cool about sending sexy books, and Chronicle tends to have some good ones as well. Good question!
