I officially became a book reviewer this week on a well established online platform that connects authors with readers and reviewers.

Book reviewers get free access to upcoming releases on the agreement that you read the book and provide a review before the publication date.

You don't get paid for it, I'm doing this as an investment in my career in the writing and editing world. Although you can receive tips from authors and other reviewers, etc.

Did I mention you get free access to books that haven't been released yet? Plus you get to choose which titles and genres you want to read. It's not like you're just assigned any old shit you're not interested in.

Pretty cool.

Already started reading my first book and even after one chapter I want to keep reading. Dude runs over a woman and drives off, and I expect spooky or weird shit to happen.

Yes, I know, perhaps not the most original opening scene. But you know what they say about books, and judging, and covers.
