Changes to Free Book Reviews

If you are a regular reader you may have noticed that changes have been filtering through the blog. We recently tried to get a link to our blog placed on a sites resources page and were denied. The person that denied made some helpful remarks and we decided to incorporate a few. The only remark that we will not incorporate is the reviews, they recommended we make them longer than the synopsis with more thought put behind them. We stand firm that a review should place emphasis on how the book made you feel and we do not need a paragraph to convey that. With that said however everyone is entitled to make their review their review. We have created additional pages in order to streamline the blog a bit. We shall try to explain each page to you so that you will get a bit of help with the new setup.

First - Home Page - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com

This is the page that most readers and visitors will arrive on. Therefore, this is where the newest three posts shall show up plus site wide ads and widgets.

Second - About Free Book Reviews - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com/p/about-free-book-reviews.html

This is pretty much what it says. We will be updating this page but the introductory paragraph is there. We will also be including sites that partner or promote Free Book Reviews.

Third - Free Book Reviews Policies - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com/p/review-policy.html

This page is where all of our policies are listed. We will update this page as needed.

Fourth - Author Interviews - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com/p/author-interviews.html

This is where authors can go to complete our author interview form. Please include your name and book title.

Fifth - Contact Free Book Reviews - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com/p/contact-free-book-reviews.html

This is where you can contact us. Just fill out the form and click submit.

Sixth - Resources - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com/p/resources.html

This page will hopefully one day be so full of resources for Authors that it will make your head spin. As of now we have a few things listed and we are working on more.

Seventh - Reviews and Interviews - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com/p/reviews-and-interviews.html

This page has a listing of all our reviews and interviews in order of posting.

Eight - The Monster TBR List - url http://freebookreviews.blogspot.com/p/monster-tbr-list.html

The title to this one tells the tale. We have listed every book that we are going to review here (we are still migrating our list). We also have all future scheduled authors for interview listed as well.


We hope that the changes that were made has made the blog appear a bit more "professional" although we do not consider ourselves professional reviewers. We like to think we are "indie" reviewers for "indie" authors. Please let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions feel free to contact us.
