Books I’ve Received

In the interest of full disclosure, I’ve decided I’m going to list books that I receive ‘free’ from publishers or other sources. I do regularly receive books directly from Pyr, Gollancz, Tor, Orbit, Solaris, and Del Rey and indirectly through FantasyBookSpot. I also get occasional books direct from other publishers, imprints, advance reader programs, and Bookman's (a local bookstore). If a book is not mentioned here, it is safe to assume that I purchased the book with my own money (or a gift certificate) or won it in a contest – meaning it was not provided to me with the intent to write a review.

Recent Edit: Since the list has become quite long and there are lots of books that I may never get to reading, I've decided to further delineate arrivals. In addition to the books read, I now have categories for New Arrivals, Books I Requested, Highly Anticipated Books that I Hope to Read Soon, Intriguing Books that I Intend to Read, Books That I'll Try to Get to, Graphic Novels I May Read, Graphic Novels I Don't Intend to Read, and Books that I Don't Intend to Read. Hopefully this will help provide a little more insight into my tastes.

If you are interested in sending me a book for review, these are my guidelines and you can contact me via email through the link in the sidebar.

What do you do with the books you receive but know you will never read? I notice a lot of these are from the 'Berkley Sensation' brand, so are basically steamy romance novels with a bit of paranormal/fantasy thrown in!

Neth said...

It varies - many of those books just languish on my very limited shelf space. I've given a number to my wife. And I've given others to friends and family. Most end up going to the used bookstore.

Yes, I somehow got on a distribution list for these paranormal romance books - some are out-right erotica. Those books really aren't my thing, especially with so many other good books to read. Berkley Sensation is one of those, so is Heat, Onyx, and a few others.
