I found out a great thing from my supervisor the other day: there are ways to get free copies of books. Since I am an avid reader of anything I can get my hands on, especially books I don't have to pay for (i.e. library, copies my family has, etc.), and I have a blog (fledgling at this point, but a blog none the less), I decided I would apply and see if the companies thought I was worthy of a chance. Apparently, they've decided I am.
I am officially a book reviewer (in blog at least) for Tyndale House Publishers and BookSneeze.com. I have two books requested, and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. I know, I know, how am I going to fit in reading and reviewing books with everything else I do? Well, I fit in reading all the time, and since I'm trying to write at least fifteen minutes a day now, writing a book review should fit in nicely. Plus, it'll give me an occasional blog post that I don't have to come up with a subject all on my own. Subjects are sometimes the hardest part for me to come up with.
So, hopefully within the next few days there will be a book (or two) arriving at my door. I can't wait! Both of the books I've requested look excellent, and I'm excited that I can then share my impression of the books with someone else. It kind of makes me feel like I'm finally going to be on Reading Rainbow. Maybe I'll have to end my reviews with, "but don't take my word for it..."
