Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers Program
This is neat. I heard about the book review program a few days ago from Semicolon. Thomas Nelson publishes fiction and non fiction christian books and they have come up with a program to get their books reviewed. In exchange for sending you one of their books free, you must agree to read the book and post a review of 200 words on your blog and one of the online bookstores such as christianbooks.com or Amazon.com. The review can be positive or negative as long as it is based on reading the entire book.
How cool is that. I signed up and there are several different categories of books: Bibles, biblical reference, business and culture, children's, family entertainment, fiction, general interests and lifestyles, practical living, spiritual growth and young adult.

I picked out my first book from a variety of choices and received it yesterday.
The Unseen by T.L. Hine. It sounded like a very interesting book and will be the first time reading anything by this author. I read an excerpt of it on Amazon and it sparked my interest. I will be reading it as soon as I finish my current read, then posting a review.

Congrats! That does sound cool! But, I'd hate to be locked in to HAVING to write 200 words. I don't think I could do that for some books... some I just write a short blurb about.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I'm with FIRST Blog Alliances -- they get books from multiple Christian publishers, and then you just read the book, and post your review plus the other tour information on your blog on the selected "Tour Date". :o) Works for me. ;)
It's nice that there are so many options out there for us book-reading(-and-reviewing-)-bloggers, eh? :)
