BookSpark discussion

Are you a reviewer? Is your TBR pile virtually empty? Fear not! Start a NEW THREAD introducing yourself, your preferred genre, book format, and where you post reviews! Done? Now sit back and wait for the libros!

Haha, I know I won't be asking on this thread until mid next year the way I'm looking at the mo' :P

Haha Yes, I started off with a similar thread elsewhere and now I'm booked until mid-December!

I'm always ready to read something! I prefer hard copies though, and I know not a lot of authors send out hard copies to reviewers--I don't have an ereader!

Anyway. (: I really like anything young adult, but I do not read anything with sexually mature content. I like paranormal/fantasy/dystopian/realistic fiction/I read EVERYTHING. (:

Same here, I know how you feel! I don't have an ereader, so I can't read ebooks and I like print copies better anyway (I'm old school like that), but if you look closely, there are a lot of authors willing to provide print copies of their books. I only accept hard copies and still, I have a toppling TBR! You could try the Creative Reviews goodreads group (a lot of authors hang out there) and if you promote your blog a lot of places, authors come to you for reviews! Hope that was somewhat helpful :)

Old school, I wonder where you'll put them when all your shelves are full. :P
Mine kind of are and I have books in my hometown and in the town I study. I bought my e-reader a couple of months ago and it was worth it. But I gave all my summer money...:P

As much as I love old books I can see how it's easier (and possibly cheaper re: p+p) for many authors to go the way of eBooks. Obviously, if you haven't the ability to read them then I've nothing against that - I only got my eReader last xmas (and love it).

I tend to have a healthy balance of both real and eBook books - the ones that I want but don't want to go searching for too much - I go online :)

One of my new find authors (Tom Andry) was a chance online encounter when searching for free eBooks :D

Hmmm, where do you search for free ebooks? I'd like to know that place.

Well, you can google free ebook downloads and see what pops up - I used Smashwords and just changed the filters to free long eBooks.

Well, I do have my iPod and when there something I really want to read from netGalley or the Galley Grab, I don't mind pulling it out..

Even if I had an ebook version first, I'd still buy a hard copy if I liked the book, hahha.

I'm converting my brother's old bedroom into a library, though, so I'll have tons of space in a few months. :D

That'll be awesome! Lucky you!

Please guys, you're welcome to comment here but if you're really looking for review books, it would be much easier on both you and the author to start a new thread, so you won't have to scroll through our chats. Thanks so much and hope you find something awesome to read!!!
