Membership Magazines: Sample Issues |
Sample issues of BookBrowse's interactive online membership magazines: "BookBrowse Recommends", "BookBrowse Previews" & the "Interview and Reading Guide Roundup" |
|
BOOKBROWSE RECOMMENDS
Usually two issues each month, 1st and 3rd weeks of the month: Packed with reviews or, and backstories about, the most compelling
current books, with links to more information at BookBrowse, including a substantial excerpt of each book, and read-alikes to other similar books and authors. Plus quizzes, quotes, book news and much more. Sample issue.
BOOKBROWSE PREVIEWS
Published in the 4th week of the month: Each month we review about 80+ high-profile and/or notable books publishing the following month,
providing members with a brief summary of each book, and the essential opinion of all available pre-publication reviewers, so
that they know which books to look out for and, most importantly, which books to pass on, whatever the marketing hype might
say! Sample issue.
INTERVIEW & READING GROUP ROUNDUP
Published in the 2nd week of the month:
Synopses of interviews and reading guides relating to books published in the month of issue, with links to the complete
interviews and guides at BookBrowse. Sample issue.
Also,
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Published in the 2nd week of the month:
Every year, BookBrowse gives away well over 1000 copies of books to members interested in reading and reviewing the titles. The month's book selection
is sent to members around the middle of the month and they have about 5 days in which to make their choices. Over the past year, all members
who have requested one or more books have received at least one book, usually on their first request, and many have received multiple books. For copyright
reasons, we are only able to offer First Impressions books to our members resident in the USA.
