I'm sure I'm not the first to notice this, but I thought it bears repeating. I've been a Librarything member for years, but I only recently started using it as an author too. Unlike another major site, they allow members to give-away ebooks as well as printed copies, for the purpose of garnering reviews.
I listed the three books I have in my sig over the weekend, giving away between 10 and 30 copies of each in the hopes that at least some of the recipients will leave reviews. So far, I've got close to 90 people entered in the drawings. And it's going to cost me nothing but my time to send out ebooks to the winners.
As a reader, I've won several great ebooks/novels from the site and I've posted reviews for each of them on Amazon, my personal site, Librarything and Goodreads, so maybe the Karma-gods will bless me with a smattering of reviews as well. (fingers crossed)
You can see the current list of giveaways here:http://www.librarything.com/er_list.php?program=giveaway&sort=startdate
There are two lists, one for paper books( Early Reader/ ARC's), and a Member list that allows ebooks as well. Hope this helps some of you searching for a way to get your book into the hands of readers!
