How to Say Thank You for the Book on a Book Blog

This is something that has been bugging me for a while. When I first started doing book reviews, any time I received a book for review (whether it was from an author, publisher -whatever) I enclosed a thank you to them in the review. Something along the lines of "Special thanks to Author-Person for providing a free copy for review" at the end of the review after the rating. If they had a website I'd also give 'em a plug. I was told that looked tacky so I stopped.I might get a handful of books…See More

Hi Joana, would you please look at this post about a children's book giveaway for everyone, I thought you may be interested since you are a member of the children's book group: http://bookblogs.ning.com/group/childrensbooks/forum/topics/looking-for-bloggers-to-host

Do you write children’s books reviews and interesting things in the children’s world of books? If so, Story Time For Me is a really cool kids website for animated storybooks.

If you have kids 8 or under I would be happy to give you some free books as well to try out.

Hi Joana, enjoyed your post on the FTC but I sure as heck wish others on the discussion forums would stop being so lazy, read the threads and realize you just posted about this yesterday! There is another exact, repeated topic about the same thing!

This is why I started the thread about the repeat posts on this site. This other post is on the same page with yours. I can't see why someone would see your post then think it needed to be reposted? I don't get it. I guess it's laziness but it is really getting annoying. Yours is sitting on the first page, big as day and then someone else thinks we need it posted again?

Ahhhh, LOL! I addressed this before because it's happening more and more. Now it's getting ridiculous. And these people who refuse to read the threads and just want to repost the same old topics, can't be surprised when folks don't answer them.

I like BB but if this continues I won't be visiting as much. Anyway, I wondered if you noticed that someone has posted about the FTC thing again when your post isn't even a day old. Makes no sense to me. I wish the mods would handle this.

Best Wishes!

Hi Joana, I want to introduce you to you my debut novel "A Circle of souls" which is a paranormal, murder, mystery, psychological thriller and a tale of justice and hope. I was wondering if you would like to review my book for your blog or sites such as Amazon. Do visit www.acircleofsouls.com to read more about the book. If you would like to read it I can mail an advance readers copy to you. Thanks for your time in advance.

Best regards

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

Book Synopsis:

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
