GREAT REVIEWS SELL BOOKS, SO DON'T KEEP YOURS A SECRET

Many of you have been submitting your ‘Bestie’ book reviews to us, and I’m getting them posted as quickly as I can. And as a bonus, I create a nifty banner which you are free to use wherever you like. It’s just one way to get both your readers and the search engines to notice you and get a bit of extra free exposure for your book(s). So keep those reviews coming, using the template at: https://thenewbookreview.blogspot.com/2026/01/send-us-your-fav-book-review.html. 

EXPANDING THE REACH OF YOUR REVIEW

We've started a little contest, rewarding the author(s) whose posted review(s) get the highest number of views. So if you haven’t yet sent us a proud-to-share review for any of your books, CLICK HERE, (or copy and paste: https://thenewbookreview.blogspot.com/2026/01/send-us-your-fav-book-review.html into your browser) to use this form to do so. 

CONTEST DETAILS

 Every time someone views your posted review, it automatically registers another vote for your book. So here’s the thing: Keep sending others to the link for your posted review. Don’t worry if you haven’t yet submitted a review, all submitted reviews, once posted, become automatic entries into our TheNewBookReviewBlogSpot Most Popular Books contest, with the tally ending on June 30, 2027. And by the way, it’s perfectly okay for you to remind your friends that you have a fave review on our blog, complete with the permalink to make it easy for them to find. 

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

Winners names and book titles will have  permanent placement on our blog. (Just click on the gold ribboned Award decal on our side panel to see where your name and book title would be placed if you are a winner.) **  And this contest is a great way for every book with a posted review to get some additional exposure. You know, the more people who read your posted review(s), the more possibility of book sales. So why not give it a try? It’s free and maybe you will be a lucky winner!

Here's to getting more eyeballs focused on your books!
