Hi there,
I’ve recently uploaded an Ebook onto Amazon kindle, and was wondering if you’d be interested in reviewing it?
Called ‘Blackspoon,’ it’s a pulp crime thriller about a young RAF officer who is coerced into smuggling heroin back from the war in Afghanistan.
Thanks for your time,
Best wishes,
Dan Eagleton
Hi Dan,
Of course. No problem at all. I’ve got a bit of catching up to do on my reading list but I will certainly add your book to it and read/review it as soon as possible. 😊
Kind regards,
Lisa

Hi Segnalibro, my name is Larry Rodness, an author of 2 previously published novels, requesting a review on my newest novel entitled, “October 32nd”.
Synopsis as follows:
October 31st. The quaint little town of Elora, Ontario has held its annual Halloween festival for the past 50 years but this year it takes a terrible turn. A young boy nearly drowns while bobbing for apples. Shortly after, a group of children are attacked by a flock of crows. Local eccentric, Missy Claridge, senses a mysterious connection between the two incidents and warns the town officials to postpone the upcoming festivities. Unfortunately her premonition is ignored and later that evening, all the children in the village suddenly disappear. The townsfolk are baffled. Soon, every person becomes a suspect as residents frantically try to discover what happened to the children and how to get them back.
Please let me know if there is interest and what kind of file you’d prefer.
Regards, Larry

Dear Lisa,
I am writing to request a book review of my upcoming novel, What She Knew. Following are details…thank you for your consideration.
Name: What She Knew
Author: Nadine Galinsky Feldman
Genre: Contemporary Women’s Fiction with a touch of thriller
NetGalley link: https://s2.netgalley.com/catalog/book/80716
Book Description:
Liz Nabor is driven, intelligent, and ambitious. She’s built a successful Wall Street career, has a gorgeous boyfriend, and enjoys a glamorous Manhattan lifestyle.
But the financial crisis of 2008–2009 brings added pressure to perform, and Liz’s boss expects her to meet company goals…whatever it takes.
When the infamous Bernie Madoff confesses to a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme, Liz finds herself dragged into the swirl of the scandal. Suddenly her career is in danger of crashing along with the economy.
While making a plan to revitalize her professional life, a family crisis emerges far from home in western Washington. Torn between two coasts, Liz also must confront unhealed family wounds. Will the woman who has it all lose everything?
What She Knew examines the ethical and moral boundaries of ambition and the power of family relationships to hurt or heal.
Thanks again!

Hi
I am Diane Schulman and my husband, Martin Schulman, wrote the mystery novel, The Conscience. Unfortunately and very sadly he passed away last year. I and my family are continuing his dream with his book. It is available in kindle format and create space p.o.d., Barnes and Noble and other online stores. When you have some time, I would greatly appreciate it if you would review his book. Short synopsis: Mystery thriller with themes of redemption and karma revolving around the theft of masterpiece painting Girl with a Pearl Earring and a baffling murder. When you have some spare time 🙂 please let me know if this book interests you and I can send an email to you with an attachment of the book.
Warm Regards, Diane
Hi Diane
I’m so sorry to hear about your husband’s passing. I would be more than happy to read and review your husband’s book. I am currently working my way through a bit of a backlog but I will absolutely get to your husband’s book as soon as I can. If you want to email it across to segnalibroblog@gmail.com, I’ll add it to my TBR list and will read it as soon as I can. I hope this is okay.
Kind regards
Lisa

Greetings-
I enjoyed browsing your reviews on your site. I am nearly ready to release a new fantasy novel with science fiction elements and I wondering if you would be interested in reviewing it?
Author: Lars Teeney
Number of published books: 4
Title: The Shackled Scribes
Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy
Self-published
Release date: 9/20/16
Target audience: New Adult/Adult
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lars-Teeney/e/B012MSAI5Y/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14185745.Lars_Teeney
https://www.facebook.com/larsteeney/
Synopsis:
Futharkia is a city built upon the layout of an ancient rune shape, and a foundation of slavery. The Broxanians have been enslaved by the Olgoikhorkian Masters to exploit the Broxanian talent for rune-scribing. In exchange, the rune-scribes are compensated with the sweet, golden liquid, Ichor, that the giant worm-like Olgoikhorkians secrete from their glands. The Ichor also happens to be highly addictive and psychoactive. The system has worked for millennia. However, the Great Fern Jungle that surrounds Futharkia is dying, being bleached white by some unseen force. Coupled with the fact that the simian-like Fern Lice have been hunted to near extinction to provide for Futharkia’s ever-increasing demand for food, the ecosystem is near collapse. It is amid this setting that Cyesko Limariar, an aging rune-scribe makes one last attempt at greatness to lift himself out of poverty, even if by fraudulent means.

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. Due to increased work commitments, my time for reading has decreased considerably and my website/reviews have unfortunately been neglected of late. I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep. I will be happy to read it if/when I get chance but I can’t give an indication of when that would be, so would it be ok if I get in touch when I am able to read/review your novel? Apologies, I’m really sad that I can’t find the time to do what I love but I really don’t want to say I’ll do it, then you have to wait months and months before I get to it. I’m lucky if I can read one book a month at the moment!
Kind regards
Lisa
