Diane U (djuseless) Here's another place to get books to review:



I think that they only do paper books.

Abbie (weatherlover1) | 240 comments Yes they only do paper books. I have my 2nd book coming from there.

Right now they have two Amish related Books
Plain Wisdom: An Invitation into an Amish Home and the Hearts of Two Women and The Bridge of Peace. This was on Jan 15

Diane U (djuseless) Thanks Lorie! I just requested Plain Wisdom: An Invitation into an Amish Home and the Hearts of Two Women since I already purchased The Bridge of Peace on my kindle.

Abbie (weatherlover1) | 240 comments Bummer I missed those! I have a book in the mail from them but its not an Amish read which is okay I need to read other stuff from time to time. :p

How often do they put up new books? I was hoping to get Plain Wisdom: An Invitation into an Amish Home and the Hearts of Two Women but I can't find it.


message 7: by Diane U (new)

Diane U (djuseless) I'm not sure. I've been watching that site for a couple of months now and this is the first time that I have seen Amish fiction books.


message 8: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Brand (pixieauthoress) Looks like a good site, the UK clearly needs something like this!

Question: is it Books for Blogging or Blogging for Books? I'm confused :P


message 9: by Diane U (new)

Diane U (djuseless) It is Blogging for Books!


message 10: by Kristy (new)

Kristy (riverunbroken) | 250 comments How long does the review have to be?


message 11: by Diane U (new)

Diane U (djuseless) I have not done a review for them yet but I have for others. I usually copy the book summary from Good Reads then I add a paragraph or two of my summary and a final paragraph of my personal thought and comments about the book.


message 12: by Camille (new)

Camille (camlovesraptors) | 802 comments I think that they want reviews of 200 words or longer. But I'm not 100% sure about that.


message 13: by Brenda (new)

Brenda | 81 comments I normally like to do about 250 words for a review, but normally go over 400. Here is a link to a word counter that I use.


message 14: by Diane U (new)

Diane U (djuseless) I just got Waiting for Morning by Karen Kingsbury. It is available in e-book or print!

Eh I started that one a month or so ago and I am only a chapter in and put it down just not liking it. I need to pick it back up and see if I can get into it more.

I am interested to see how you like it once you start reading it.


message 16: by Diane U (new)

Diane U (djuseless) I figured that it was a Karen Kingbury book so it can't be bad. I'll let you know what I think when I start it.


message 17: by Abbie (new)

Abbie (weatherlover1) | 240 comments It was not bad the writing was great but it looks to be a deep book which is fine but at the time I was not in the mood for that. Like I said I just need to pick it back up and read a few more chapters and see if I can get into it.

Oh I understand. It's like reading too many Jodi Picoult books, you need a break with something light.

Vannetta Chapman (vannettachapman) | 102 comments Hi gals. I don't know if this is the place to post this. I also posted it as a general comment. Zondervan is giving away 15 advance reader copies of Falling to Pieces ... better hurry though. Bet they'll go fast. Details here. : )


message 20: by Diane U (new)

Diane U (djuseless) Oh, thanks Vannetta! I signed up! I watched the book preview on Amazon for Falling to Pieces: A Quilt Shop Murder and it looks really interesting! I cannot wait to read it! :)


message 21: by Camille (new)

Camille (camlovesraptors) | 802 comments I hope I win a copy!!


message 22: by Vannetta (new)

Vannetta Chapman (vannettachapman) | 102 comments I hope you both win!


message 23: by Camille (new)

Camille (camlovesraptors) | 802 comments Either way, I'll be reading it! I LOVE murder mysteries and I love Amish fiction! My favorite things combined. :)


message 24: by Rachel (new)

Rachel Brand (pixieauthoress) If anyone doesn't get a paper copy of this book, I know that NetGalley have ebooks available for review :)
