It is with great sadness that I must announce that I am no longer able to continue managing Portland Book Review to the degree that it deserves. I have been struggling with a series of interconnected illnesses over the last year, and it has finally reached the point that I must admit when too much is too much. This has been a wonderful experience that has connected thousands of book lovers across the globe, and has given me the chance to get to know a number of them very well. I cannot even begin to properly express my thanks to my wonderful reviewers, and all of our supportive and amazing readers. Please go check out our sister sites over at https://citybookreview.com/ for any future reviewing needs.

For anyone who has recently purchased a sponsored review, refunds will be going out over the next 2 weeks. I will also be reaching out to publicists over the next month.

I hope you continue to find good books to read and enjoy, good people to discuss them with, and continue to share your love of the written word.

Sincerely,

Whitney Smyth
