I have a small pile of books I’ve been working my way through. I also have some books I want to read very soon. With the help of a brainstorming friend, I’ve concocted an evil plan for my summer blogging…let me share it with you.
Below, I’m going to post my To-Be-Read book list. If you’ve read one of these and you’re game, write a short review of the book–about 500 words max. I want to post several reviews this summer–I’m thinking one-two reviews a month. That way, I know more about the books as I work my way through them…and I won’t feel bad that I haven’t gotten around to it yet. And you get a chance to blow everyone away with your thoughtful book reviews!
I’d prefer it if you didn’t rip the books apart, but by all means, if something stood out to you as particularly bothersome, do mention that. And be sure to highlight the strengths of the book–storyline, characters, prose, etc.
Okay…here we go:

If you’ve already written/blogged a review on one of these books, feel free to send that to me, if you’re okay with my posting it on my blog.
I’d love for you to send a picture and bio with your review, if you have one you want to share. And if you have an idea for a book I need to add to my To-Be-Read list, please share in the comments!
I look forward to hearing from you all. Feel free to email me at heatherdaygilbert (at) gmail (dot) com if you don’t want to volunteer in the comments here!
I'll take Lisa's book – I need to do a review for it anyway, and if you're cool with a reblog, it's all yours. In fact, I can even "personalize it" for your site so they're slightly different. Great idea!
Having some problems with comments! If yours doesn't go through, be sure to email me if you want to do a review!
Great list of books! I'm reading "A Heart Deceived" right now, and I'm really enjoying it. My friend Amy Drown just reviewed "Five Days In Skye", and she loved it. 🙂
Gwen–I love Michelle's books! Let me know if you want to review that over here!
As of today, I have almost all the books spoken for except INVISIBLE, A HEART DECEIVED, and POISON! Wow, those slots went fast! This was such a blast and I can't wait to read your reviews!
AND I just added NOT BY SIGHT and GONE SOUTH, in case anyone wants to jump at the chance to read/review one of those! Definitely two I want to read…and I LOVE the cover art on those!!!
I look forward to these reviews!
Me too, TC! First one going up tomorrow!
