May Early Reviewer books

May's batch of Early Reviewer books is up! We've got 51 books this month, and a grand total 1,115 copies to give out.

Some of the big highlights include the new Neal Stephenson (Anathem) and The Given Day by Dennis Lehane! Or would you rather read The Inverted World by Christopher Priest? The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen? Is historical fiction more your thing? Try Hallam's War by Elisabeth Payne Rosen". In the mood for some Norman Mailer? Request a copy of Miami and the Siege of Chicago. On the nonfiction side, how about a little bit of everything, with The Best Creative Nonfiction, Vol. 2...

First, make sure to sign up for Early Reviewers. If you've already signed up, *please* check your mailing address and make sure it's correct.

Then request away! The list of available books is here:

The deadline to request a copy is Monday, May 19th at 6pm EDT.

Eligiblity:
Publishers do things country-by-country. This month we have publishers who can send books to the US, Canada, the UK, and for the first time, Australia! We only have one Australian publisher (I'm sure those 15 books will be coveted), but we're working on getting more for the future.

Thanks to all the publishers, new and old!

Kristan, you can still request your book! It's not first come, first served. There's a snazzy algorithm which decides who gets what book.

I still haven't gotten the March book that I snagged, and I know the fancy algorithm takes into account those that have written reviews, or thought it did. I would love to write a review of a book, but I have to get it first! ;-)

It's ok, we give you some leeway times (since we know the books can take a while to come)...
