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.

Free copies of Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon

During the summer I posted a review of Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon. I really enjoyed the book. Here's the start of my review:

Alice Sebold's The Almost Moon starts with a murder, a clumsy, unpremeditated affair that happens almost naturally. It was easy, Helen Knightly tells us in the book's first sentence:

"When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily."

It's a sentence that makes you want to read more.

And if you'd like to read more of my review, click here.

The book is now out in paperback, and Hachette is generously offering five free copies to readers of book-blog.com (US and Canada only). If you'd like a copy, just let me know in the comments. Then email me with your name and mailing address. I'll pass along the first five requests to the Hachette people.
