I've heard about a possibility that a FTC regulation law may be passed concerning blogger's who review items that are mailed to them, or reviewing items, such as books. But I am not too sure if it had passed, and I want to make sure what it is about, so I won't get into trouble with the law. Could anyone inform me on what I should be doing to be on the safe side?

I believe it's only a problem if certain individuals get paid to review books and or other items by corporations etc. Other than that, when you receive a book, just put in your review who and where you got it from and you should be more than okay. :)
They passed this on December 1st: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33177160/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/
So basically, if you get free books, you have to disclose that.
Here's a good guide for what you should be doing: http://yzocaet.blogspot.com/2009/10/ftc-rules-regs-and-guides-from.html
Hope this helps!
