Hello and welcome to the Book Reporters blog! We created this blog because we love reading and we love blogging. Quite frequently our blogging friends ask for book recommendations. So we thought, what better way to archive the books we’ve all read than to put them onto one blog?
This blog is an open community. You are invited to become a Book Reporter to post your own book recommendations. Just send an email to bookreporters@yahoo.com. We’ll post Book Reporters on our sidebar and we’ll ask you to keep up with your “what I’m reading” profile and to occasionally post a book review. By becoming a Book Reporter you’re not committing to reading a certain number of books. You can post just once a year or six times a month, it’s completely up to you. We are using Wordpress for this blog – if you’re comfortable with using Wordpress we can set you up with an account and you can post directly onto the blog. If you’re not comfortable with using that program, you can simply email your Book Reports to us, and we’ll load them onto the site for you. Easy peasy!
The few rules we have about Book Reports are quite simple:
1.) You cannot give away important plot points. Your Book Report is a recommendation about why you liked the book. You can also do a Book Report on a book that you did not like.
2.) No book reports on the Twilight saga. We’ve all read them.
3.) Feel free to share additional information about your book. For example, if the author has a web site, feel free to link it.
4.) Books will be divided into genres and we’ll create them as we go along. The genres are on the side bar of the blog, so that readers can pick the genre they are interested in and read the Book Reports associated with it.
A fun feature is our Book Reporters Swap, see the link on the top of the blog. We can share books for the cost of postage alone. If you have a book you’d like to swap, post it in the sidebar. Book Reporters can contact each other with shipping details.
Have fun with this blog, we know we will! And keep checking back because we’ll be adding things and enhancing it as we go along .
