The shiny new piece of information today was that there are folks who read new books and review them on their blogs! What an incredible gift to us readers, and to new authors. One allowed that he was indeed a speed reader, and wouldn't you have to be given the number of authors vying for reviews?
So I recommend two such blogs: josephsreviews@gmail.com and bethsbookreviewblog@gmail.com in case you'd like just a taste of a few new novels, like appetizers before a big meal.
The trick of course is to get reviews before the book gets too old! Keep up the momentum. So I'm marching briskly down the cobblestone street before I've even received the paperback galleys (the REALLY FINAL edit), which are due at the end of January. And I'm pounding on my drum, bells jingle on my ankles and I'm wearing a bright red uniform with a tall hat. And I asked them both to review MR.
Suppose the reviewer isn't impressed? This small voice arises from somewhere below my ribcage. I need to toughen up. Not everyone will like MEDICINE ROCK. But it has value and an important message anyway. Stay tuned.
