Here's your challenge (to win a free book!).

Goodreads
Barnes and Noble
Borders

I've reviewed a few books on goodreads---but mostly I share the love by telling anyone I think will appreciate the book about it and basically insist they read it:)
Sounds like a great idea. The only problem for me is that I need to read a book before I post a review. ;)
I always mean to write a review but I usually end up just giving the book a star rating because I'm lazy. I guess that now I have a reason to stop being lazy and get it done!
Jenni- review books you've already read!
That sounds fun, so I'll be back once I post a review!
YOu always have such fun ideas for giveaways.
Reviews are really important - you can help your friends know what you really did or didn't like, and speaking as an author, it's so helpful to know what jived with the reader and what didn't. I underline what's already been said, though - you can say what you think without being too harsh, and that helps everyone.
Every time I get done with a book, I write a review about it. That is how I find a lot of books to read-- checking out what my friends are reading on GoodReads.
The books you are giving away are some of all time FAVORITES!
Hey lady! I forgot to post on this! SUCH A BRILLIANT IDEA. Seriously love it.
So, I try to review often- on Goodreads but I did post a couple reviews on Amazon just for this.
Also I re-tweeted ya!
Thanks for being brilliant & I have that DARN book to give you. Can not WAIT for you to finish so we can talk about it!
