Blog Tour de Force+The Indie Book Collective=Free Books! (Also, some book review updates)
I first stumbled upon Blog Tour de Force a few months ago, well past the Veteran’s Day tour where each author gave one free book to each commenter AND a soldier. I thought that rocked. I mean, that really rocked! Maybe it’s my family’s past in the military that made me extra excited about that, but maybe not. I mean, my husband was a Marine, not a soldier, but still. Anything that benefits soldiers, readers, reviewers, and blog visitors is a huge win. And free books? What’s not to love?
I signed up, of course, because I wanted to participate in the reviews in 2012, hoping the Veteran’s Day tour returns. So I’m on the Blog Tour de Force mailing list, and if you’re not on there, too, you should be. Here’s why:
Everyday this week I’m getting an email about the Indie Book Collective’s “Get Loaded” tour. One author a day is giving away a free copy to every commenter. It’s that easy. In addition, the IBC is doing other giveaways, including a free Kindle, and authors are giving away gift baskets.
Here’s the lineup:
- January 23: A Hustler’s Promise by Jackie Chanel
- January 24: Neiko’s Five Land Adventure by AK Taylor
- January 25: ANEW by Chelsea Fine
- January 26: Book of Mercy by Sherry Roberts
- January 27: Secrets (Guardian Trilogy: Book 1) by Liz Schulte
It’s a blog hop, and I’m pretty sure you can catch up on past participants until the end of the week, so it’s not too late. I really love authors who participate in these kinds of things. They deserve some support and definitely some reviews, so if you receive a free book, make sure you review it for them. It’s good karma.
SPEAKING of book reviews, I’ve updated Blackbird with the following:
The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga
Scarlet: Book 1 by Brian Michael Bendis (Issues 1-5)
The Forest of Hands & Teeth by Carrie Ryan
Well, enjoy. I hope you all have an excellent Wednesday.

Of course, Kenya. Thanks for linking back to your site. On my way there now.
For someone with a kid and a job, who writes on the side, you find a lot of time to read!
My secret is insomnia. Unfortunately. But it does allow me plenty of time to myself.
And to be fair, I’ve done absolutely no writing of my own since I started my job in October. So I’m not quite the time-finder that I’m perceived as, although I’d like to be.
Boy I wish I could read as fast as you do! And it can’t all be insomnia. I read so slowly there is no way I could be a successful book reviewing blogger. Luckily we have reader/writers like you to turn to!

Thanks, Holly, but I’m sure you could still blog reviews. I keep no schedule whatsoever; I’m completely unpredictable and often neglectful, and I still get subscribers somehow.
You’d probably do it better, slowly reading or not.
