Authors & publishers:
I've decided to stop accepting review copies. The downside of getting buried in free books is that reading increasingly becomes an obligatory act. After some seven years of blogging books, it's time for me to return to the simple pleasure of reading only the books I want to read, when I want to read them. The blog, however, will continue, and if you've got a good first line to share for TwitterLit please do so here.

Online Book Fair!

  

Printer-friendly page! Use print preview to see how this page will appear.

You will perhaps have noticed the addition of an advertisement at the top of the right sidebar. It links to an online book fair hosted by FSB Associates that's being held at loveofreading.com from October 3rd-5th. I'm going to be one of some 18 litbloggers who will be taking part in the fair as guest bloggers. (I'm due to blog my bit on Wednesday, the 4th. Others taking part include Elegant Variation, Beatrice, Literary Saloon, and BookBitch.) But apart from the guest bloggings there's going to be a lot happening at the fair--much of it involving prizes in book form! But some of it will involve prizes in the form of gift cards and leather briefcases. Hourly book raffles! A book cover contest. Book clubs can win a batch of books and an hour on the phone with an author. Three people will win a dozen books each. There are also audio and video interviews with some of FSB's authors--Alan Alda, Jeffrey Archer, Jed Rubenfeld, etc. So, stay tuned for my book fair blog post here at book-blog.com, which will appear on Wednesday. And check out the book fair starting bright and early Tuesday morning!
