Please add the book you are interested in to your TBR list, this will keep you in the loop of general updates on goodreads. Request via Email direct to the Author - click through their name at the top of the post bar and go to their profile and click on "email direct". Say in the note that you would like to read the ARC and reference the book title and include your email address that can accept a book file attachment (like gmail/hotmail/aol/etc).

-If you are a blogger reviewer
-How many friends/fans do you have following your reviews

-Have you completed other ARC reviews through this group

Please only request an ARC if you think you can complete reading and posting a review by the target date to be considerate of other advanced copy reviewers also interested in the book title.
