Any Avid Book Reader here who can contribute and write couple of lines about the book they read?

If I publish the review on my blog,i would be giving credit to the writer by giving a link to their twitter and their g+ profile.

Prateek, there are a lot of book readers. I think you'd like to do a tag search into the IndiBlogger Directory. Maybe, this might help you.

Even I've done a lot of book reviews... do read them all on my blog. Your comments on my blog will tell me how serious you are about reading reviews.

In the era of smart phones and RSS feed aggregators, people tend to comment less. I find it difficult to comment on wordpress blogs many times because it will ask me for a login. Even if i login, the url will be to my twitter page when I actually want my blog url to there..

@Elizabeth I face similar issues while commenting... whether it is on Wordpress or Blogger or Blogspot. So what I do as a regular practice is to add my name and the url of my blog after I've commented. This gives me some consolation that the concerned blogger just might reach out to me than reach where I am not. :)

Hi Anunoy

The Contributor will get credit for the review by having a dedicated authorbox with Link back to their website and g+ and twitter profiles, Just to make it authentic.

Listen buddy, anyone who is interested in writing 100 word reviews can always get them published on Flipkart, Amazon or any other site selling books. Even Goodreads is there. So far as 'a couple of lines' are concerned, you have the right to go and read reviews written by bloggers and reviewers and pick up what you think highlights the essence of the book and use the line/s as a quote giving credit to the writer.

Right?

@arvind - I know they can publish reviews on flipkart or amazon, but do you have a problem if i asked and offer them to contribute original reviews for my blog in return of credit and reference to their blog.  I guess there is no problem in that.

It is a reciprocal thing and will only help, its a genuine offer and any contribution is welcome
