Wanted: Your Book Recommendations!
I get asked all the time to recommend my favourite books … So I thought I’d open the site to EVERYONE’S recommendations of what books they’ve enjoyed *and* why — WITHOUT SPOILERS (more details, please see T & Cs, below).
I’m calling it “Best of 3”
Authors, book bloggers AND readers can email me their recommendations in the following format (just copy & paste). Your ‘Best of 3’ needs to be based around a theme of some kind:
- NAME:
- WEBSITE &/OR SOCIALS:
- BOOK 1 – TITLE & AUTHOR:
- WHY I LIKE IT:
- BOOK 2 – TITLE & AUTHOR:
- WHY I LIKE IT:
- BOOK 3 – TITLE & AUTHOR:
- WHY I LIKE IT:
- BIO: 1-2 lines, plus links to your sites, profiles, books etc
