Free books are always fun, so I thought you and your readers might be interested in Shelf Awareness’s embeddable contest for free signed first edition copies and galleys of books including our current offering, a signed, first edition copy of crime thriller Thick as Thieves by Peter Spiegelman. Shelf Awareness (http://bit.ly/luZsZ) is a free e-newsletter reviewing the 25 best books published each week, as chosen by industry insiders, which makes book selection easier for your readers! When your readers tell us you referred them, you'll be entered for a chance to be interviewed for our popular Book Brahmin feature which reaches over 23,000 subscribers!<br /><br />Here is your link to the contest widget: http://bit.ly/kpC8pH. It auto-updates with new books every few weeks, so you won’t have to adjust it. Shelf Awareness is committed to audiences like yours, please consider me your personal contact and I hope to work with you now and in the future. We’d love any feedback regarding how you and your readership enjoy the widget!<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Andrea Hofer<br />Account Executive<br />Andrea@BanyanBranch.com<br />BanyanBranch.com<br />Mobile: 850.556.9830Andrea Hoferhttp://bit.ly/luZsZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953280070115140001.post-43644780004072756972011-05-09T02:45:54.617+02:002011-05-09T02:45:54.617+02:00Xavier, I always look forward to reading your keen...Xavier, I always look forward to reading your keen thoughts on the genre.

I too enjoy your blog and as it is in my RSS reader I shall read your posts however irregular.<br />I suffer a bit from readers' block at the moment and have been trying to read some books that I would not usually read, in order to "break" it. The ones I've enjoyed the most have been some of the Victorian novels of Anthony Trollope, who has an engaging, colloquial style as well as addressing timeless emotional, social and political dilemmas.Maxine Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628509319992204770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953280070115140001.post-83453403869319969942011-05-02T08:01:29.925+02:002011-05-02T08:01:29.925+02:00Dear Xavier,

We will still be here whenever it is that you chose to return. It takes more than just inactivity to get rid of us, you know!<br /><br />Secondly, thanks for the plug! There's a lot of room for improvement though. Extensive proofreading is still an alien concept to me. ;) <br /><br />TC/LCD (from Detection by Moonlight).TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953280070115140001.post-52031725657589402652011-05-02T00:14:21.426+02:002011-05-02T00:14:21.426+02:00Dear Xavier,
