I believe I’ve mentioned Fantasybookspot.com before, as it is a great resource for book reviews on speculative fiction titles. Check it out again if you haven’t been by there lately. They can help you figure out how to divvy up your book budget each month, plus they seem to get a lot of books in advance, so they can alert you on which ones to keep an eye out for.
The other reason I bring them up (again? or is this the first time I have? My brain is cousin to the slug this early) is that they constantly run little contests that could get you free books for pretty much no effort. Just go to the forums and look for the Contest and Rules section. They have a new contest every month, where all you have to do is send a private message to the moderator, and you are entered to win whatever free books they offer up. This month you could win a duo of signed titles: The Blade Itself and Before They Are Hanged.
Aight. I’m off to play dodgeball. I’ll provide gruesome details later…if there are any.
I see that smile.
