Back when I was running my book review site, I tweeted about a new book coming out that I was really excited about. I said basically 'WHO DO I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH TO GET A REVIEW COPY? I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS!"

You know, sometimes I forget that tweets are public and people read them.

I got a very polite DM from the author saying that wouldn't be necessary and he would have the publisher send me a copy.

So yeah. Maybe don't do that, but it's fine.
