Thanks for all the links and including my giveaway of The Runaway King at Literary Rambles. Sorry I forgot to e-mail you about it.
ReplyDeleteNo worries! You're in my reader, so I catch your posts anyway.
DeleteThank you for including me as well, it is so nice of you to do this each week. I always look forward to checking out all the great things you've found.
ReplyDeleteDo you only review traditionally published books? Do you have a separate section for self-published stories if they fall within middle grade and YA fantasy and science fiction? Just curious, or if you can point me in the direction of a site that does do this--review self-pubbed books. Thanx.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do on occasion review self-published books, at the moment I'm swamped and not taking any more on. The thing to do is to check the about section on the various blogs that review books similar to feel in yours--a good blog will say what sort of books the blogger accepts, and give you contact information. Good luck to you!
DeleteCharlotte, thanks for the shout-out for my book. And what a great list!
