When I started blogging, I was given roughly 10
paperback books a month to review.
Some of the books, I wanted to review. Others
not so much.
Now more and more Christian Publishing
companies are not even publishing Fiction stories.
Waterbrook / Multnomah does not publish fiction
books.
Tyndale publishes maybe three books in a
quarter.
Thomas Nelson, which used to be a big producer
of fiction books, is only publishing five fiction books from September 1st
through the end of this year.

Even though Revell and Bethany House Publishing
does publish majority of the fiction published it appears, they are limiting
how many paperback books go out too.
Bethany House started about two years ago that
the reviewers were put into two categories: influencers and reviewers. The
influencers will have a choice of the one book that they have chosen out of all
the books that are published that month to review or not. The rest of them can
be downloaded through Netgalley.
Revell Reads, which is Revell publishing’s
Review team, does list every book that is published, but they say they randomly
select from all the people who have signed up for certain books. However, I
signed up within 10 minutes of receiving the sign-up email, and I have not been
given a book in over 6 months.
I know inflation is hurting everyone, thank
you, Joe Biden, but this is kind of why book reviewing is something I am trying
to move away from.
What about you? Do you receive many physical
paperback books anymore?
