Christine, I'd do it but I'm backed up. Between Sourcebooks, independent publishers plus a new media company I'm working with that deals with loads of publishers, I'm working through fifteen books I need to read and review. Sorry, I just can't squeeze it in right now but didn't want you to think I was ignoring your request.

Christine, you might want to try Ning.com and just search "book reviews". When I was thinking about finding more reviewers for my writers' magazine, one of the publishers suggested I try there. I'd just never got around to checking the site out but I made a flying visit there for you and saw at least one that does them :

http://clevelandbookreview.ning.com/

I'm sure if you look you'll find more, or go to writing sites and request reviewers.

P.S. A bit of constructive criticism. You need more details about the book itself, not just the content, at your blog.  It's not clear from your post at fourleafclover if it's an e-book or not. You need to make that crystal clear. You also need to add the price right above the Buy Now button. It doesn't say either how many pages it is nor how many essays it contained. Folks just won't hit that button if they have no idea what it will cost or what they're getting for their money.

Thanks Kay!  I don't know how I missed your post.  I did have some luck getting reviews and am waiting on about 3-4 more.  Cross your fingers!

I'll add that right now, I never thought of that.  It is DEFINITELY NOT an e book though!  I'm not a fan of those...what do you think?

You're welcome. :) Ebooks are like ordinary books, you get good and bad. I'm just not a big fan of reading a book online. I much prefer having it in my hands and curling up in a chair. Good luck with the book! :)
