An Update on Future Review Requests

As much as I hate to admit it, my chronic pain is not getting any better.  It’s getting worse just as I’m simultaneously taking on more work and trying to improve my overall health.  As a consequence, I’m going to have to drop some things from my blog if I’m going to keep going.

Readers won’t see any significant changes in the quality or quantity of content here on The Mad Reviewer.  That’s the good news.  The bad news for authors is that while I’m going to continue to process the review requests I accepted nearly a year ago I likely won’t be taking any new requests until late 2014 or early 2015.

I can’t tell you how awful I feel about promising authors 2-3 month waiting times back in May 2013 and still not having a review for them.  It’s compounding my already enormous frustration with my body because of the things I’ve had to give up.  That’s why this year I’m going to try my best to spend at least 30 minutes of my daily reading time on the review requested books I’ve accepted.  Hopefully that will clear things up in a couple of months, but sometimes my body has other plans.

I know a lot of authors follow me here on The Mad Reviewer, sometimes in the hope of seeing my review requests open again.  All I can say is that I hope you guys stick with me for a little while longer.  Things here on the blog are going to get better, even if my body doesn’t.
