Reviewers

Read the guidelines - Do read the guidelines for being a reviewer so you know what's expected of you, available here.
Choose wisely - Don't select books at random, choose one you think you will probably enjoy.
Do read the book - You're making a commitment to the author by offering to review their work. Please make sure you follow through.
Post your review - Make sure you post your review both here and on the sites requested.
Be nice - In most instances these books are the result of a lot of work, time, and effort. There's no need to be rude. Be constructive.
Discuss - Once you've posted your review consider commenting on others and discuss what you thought.
Remember reddiquette - Voting up or down is not to be used for likes/dislikes. If you want to hide a post by voting because it's not your thing, upvote for visibility for other readers.
Enjoy! - This is a place to discover new books and authors that you will hopefully enjoy and recommend to others. Enjoy it!

Authors

Read the guidelines - Do read the guidelines for requesting reviews so you know how to layout your submission, available here.
Format - Make sure you format your submission correctly to allow readers to find your work easily.
Published only - Only submit published books, this is not the place to find beta readers or ask for editing. Your book must be published and available to the general public.
Don't spam - If you have more than one book you'd like to offer, please don't post more than one at a time. Consider spreading your submissions out over a period of time to make sure your posts aren't bunched together. You can link them in the 'Review notes' section of your posts.
Free copies - Make your review copies free. You're not advertising your book, you're asking for good quality free reviews.
Update - Edit your post to ensure it's up to date. Use the link flair so readers know the status of your review.
Engage - Don't just post your review request and leave. Engage commenters both before and after they review your book.
Take part - Consider reviewing other people's work as well as submitting your own.
