Between now and November 30th, 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! (And yes, the books will - if readily available on Amazon - arrive before the holidays, so you could give one as a gift!)
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.
If you are choosing between books to review, we REALLY need some non-fantasy reviews this time around. We still have quite a stockpile of those to post in the future, and we want to provide as much variety as possible on Bookshop Talk (but don't hold back if your favorite recent read is fantasy. We'll still take it!).
So raid your Goodreads & Amazon reviews, blog, or 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 an acceptable review (you only have to write 3-5 paragraphs) visit our Contact page here.
Below is an alphabetized list of the books that have already been reviewed, or will be posted before the end of the drawing. Please look over this list before you submit a new review:
