Week 4: Library Thing & Rollyo: Wrap Up

Here is my favorite feature in LibraryThing:


The Early Reviewers. You sign up (you must give name and addresss) to try and win prepublication books in a type of lottery. At the beginning of every month will publish a list of books that will be available, what countries they will be available in and how many copies. Yes, they have a description of the story so you can decide if it is something you want to read. They have fiction, non fiction, cook books, biographies, and more. When you find one you want you click on request. If you are lucky enough to be selected (there are usually only 10-20 copies, with hundreds of people wanting them) they will send you a copy of the book, in exchange they want a book review. Wait, before you start going, "A book review. I don't want to write a book review." It only has to be 25 words or less, and no you don't have to write a glowing review if you don't like the book. And before you ask, no I have not received a book yet, but I keep hoping. What is the saying, hope springs eternal.
