Today’sTuesday Thingers question: Early Reviewers- do you participate? How many books (approximately) have you received through the program? Have you liked them generally? What’s your favorite ER book? Do you participate in the discussion group on LT?
Yes, I’ve participated in Early Reviewers, ever since books were offered to UK members. I’ve received two books – the first was Our Longest Days from the second batch I requested. The second was Man In the Dark by Paul Auster. Although Our Longest Days is my favourite, I enjoyed both of them immensely, – my reviews are on LT and also here on my blog (clicking on the titles links to my reviews). Currently I’m waiting for Tangled Roots by Sue Guiney. It should be arriving soon as it’s been on its way since August!
I don’t request every book that’s available, as I have so many books that I haven’t read yet and time is precious. So it’s been a real plus receiving the ones I’ve really fancied reading.
I haven’t take part in the LT discussion group, mainly because I don’t have the time. I haven’t even looked at it.

Wow what great luck to snag an Auster book!
I’m the same as you, I only request what I’m very interested in reading (usually only 1 or 2 from each batch) but I’ve been very fortunate in snagging some good ones. I’m pretty sure the algorithm matches people’s tastes in order to decide, so I figure that my large, very strange library has alot to do with my luck. Sometimes it pays to have weird taste :)

I am looking for that Aster book! I like his writing!
BTW, I have not received anything from LT. As none of the publishers send anything to India til date.

Joanne – I could hardly believe my luck with the Auster Book.
Gautami – I’m so sorry about that. I hope you find the book – it is good.

I don’t request every book available either. I’d rather get no book than get a book I don’t really want to read and know I have to review it if I want a chance to get another ER book.

I only request the interesting ones. I don’t really want to read a book I don’t like with my looming pile of TBRs! I still have received books that I didn’t like, though, so I guess my library isn’t doing a great job representing me.

I only get chosen for mysteries, although they aren’t the only things I read. I’ve read and reviewed other types of books in my LT library, but to no effect. I suppose if I want things to change, I’ll have to rate and review many more books, but where on earth am I going to find the time?!?
