I got offered incontinence underwear for pregnant women last week for Pete's sake. I also once agreed to review a book which was relevant to the Expat part of my name and it was just not up my street. It wasn't bad, just not my taste so i told the publicity person that, and said I wouldn't write a review and offered to send the book back. They were OK about it I suppose because they would rather not have a tepid review.

Of course you get asked to review toddler products because that's what mums blog about. What else? Ha ha. Doing product reviews sounds like fun, but that sort of thing doesn't go on much here in the Netherlands. Having said which, someone I know has a travel blog and has won all sorts of blogging trips. The nearest I've got are self-publishers of e-books who ask me to read and review their books on Goodreads. As if I didn't have a houseful of good books waiting to be read. And what if the books are awful? I'm quite good at writing snarky reviews, but not if somebody has sent me their own 'masterpiece' for review.Integrated Expathttp://www.integratedexpat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327382592404863779.post-40909378935239909242016-10-19T22:30:23.575+01:002016-10-19T22:30:23.575+01:00I'd take them up on the wine!

They figure if they throw enough "free" things out there someone is bound to take them up on it.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.com
