Requests are handled by CoOp volunteers, on a case-by-case basis. Each reviewer is vetted using the following criteria: a high number of followers, genre match, quality reviews/feedback, active accounts on Goodreads or Amazon.

There are also reviewers that have been pre-approved for our group after requesting one or more titles previously. These are those frequent bloggers that we all know and love.
