Wahoo! I’m a Librarything Early Reviewer!

Writing from a Holiday Inn Express in Decatur, Georgia, as I get ready for a day of interesting presentations about cataloging in the 21st century… This Just In…

Congratulations. You’ve snagged an Early Reviewers copy of Gifted by Nikita Lalwani. You should get your copy in the mail shortly.

We hope you find the time to read the book and review it on LibraryThing. You are free–indeed encouraged–to put your review on your blog, or wherever else you want, and to talk about it on the Early Reviewers group. I want to repeat that, although writing a review will help your chances of getting more books, the content of your review will not.

As I commented on my LibraryThing profile, I’m glad LT is clarifying its review policy. I know they’re making this up as they go along, and I approve of that model. But it’s equally important to give priority to people who will actually review the books… but really review them, not just turn LT into a factory for literary smiley faces.
