I think it would have bothered me a lot less if she had been like, "oh, I haven't interacted with book bloggers much!" Instead, it went into the depths of ARC greed and explicit direction! Ugh, other book bloggers who have given her that impression, why are you so full of fail?
NetGalley...I need to start using it more! But even in that case I get nervous about making requests, ugh, my fear and loathing of asking for free things, even though in this case it's not free in particular, because I am taking the time to read and then have a discussion on it. That's another thing with ARCs; I feel obligated to review them and do so honestly or else I feel like a thief.
WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO NEUROTIC. There are people that get ten ARCs a week, wave them around and then I see them review maybe two of them.
I still have to figure out where to acquire Varney the Vampire, actually. That's going to be the hard part for me living where I do, without having to go bankrupt acquiring books.
