As you read the reviews on Bookshop Talk, you'll notice that every review is positive. No, we're not a bunch of literary
pushovers who love everything we pick up; we just see no point in telling you about a book if we didn't like it.

WIN A BOOK of Your Choice!!

Giveaway Reminder:


We want to hear about your favorite books!


Between now and April 22nd, if you submit a review of a book you liked (no matter how long ago it was published), you will be entered into a drawing to win ANY BOOK OF YOUR CHOICE that has been reviewed on Bookshop Talk, or written by an author that we’ve interviewed. You can even win more than one!


We will give away one book for every ten reviews we receive. And your name will be entered into the drawing for every review that you submit.


So raid your Goodreads & Amazon reviews, blog, whatever, and send Bookshop Talk reviews of the books that you would like to recommend to others!


For instructions on how to format and submit your review (you only have to write 3-5 paragraphs) visit our Contact page here.
