More Early Reviewers books from Random House
Our second batch of books for LibraryThing Early Reviewers is available. Like last time, Random House has given us some advance copies of books that are soon to be published. We'll distribute them to LibraryThing members to read and review. Note: The current batch ends July 16 at noon Eastern time—this MondayThis batch of books includes:
- The Guardians by Ana Castillo
- Gifted by Nikita Lalwani
- Tipperary by Frank Delaney
- Identical Strangers: A Memoir of Twins Separated and Reunited by Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein
- (Not that You Asked) by Steve Almond
- The number of actual copies have SOARED. Random House gave us 420 copies this time, up from 95 last round. That's thanks to you all; if they hadn't liked how this was received, they would not have been so generous!
- Canadian residents are now eligible to join in the fun.
- There's some non-fiction in the mix this time—I know that was a request before, so I hope this goes over well enough to get even more next time.
- One of the offerings (Not that You Asked) is a sampler—not the full book. We aren't sure about whether to include them, but we thought we'd give it a try. Notably, asking for and/or getting the sampler will in no way affect whether you get other books.
- Sign up for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
- Check out the list of available books and indicate which one(s) you're interested in reading and reviewing. You can apply for as many books as you'd like, but you can only apply for each book once.
- Wait and see if you've won a book!
We've got an Early Reviewers discussion group going on as well.

Excellent! This looks like a much more interesting group of books than last time. Can't wait to see if I get one!
Thank you Random House!
on selection of those who receive books:
LECANOMANCY: A form of divination where a stone is thrown into a basin of water. The scryer will divinate by the sound the stone makes in the water and the images of the rippling water. Sometimes oil is used instead of a rock. In this case the scryer interpretes the shapes of the oil floating on the water.

I like it! Sounds like Vegas!
Thanks for helping connect LibraryThing users with ARCs so that we can review... How much fun! And, thanks also to Random House!
Can other publishers offer ARC's?

Yes! We're opening it up to other publishers in October (Random House has exclusivity until then). You can email me (abby@librarything.com) for more info.

Grrrrrr. "By the way, if you got a book last time, and didn't review it, while it may hurt your chances a bit, it's not instant death. We have a LOT of books to give out, and we don't hold a grudge."
I hold a grudge! that's lame.

Surely it wouldn't cost all that much to mail a book to Amsterdam? ):
