Well, why not? Authors work hard to create their books — sometimes spending one, two, three, or even more years on each one. Then their books are published, put on display in a dwindling array of bookstores, then yanked off the shelves a few weeks later to make way for newer books.
Also, many newspapers and magazines have almost completely eliminated book reviews from their pages as they keep trying to cut costs and survive. So it is getting tougher and tougher for authors to get their books reviewed anywhere.
Third-Chance Book Reviews offers one more opportunity to get reviewed.
To be honest, I am a long-time book reviewer who is now almost unemployed in the dwindling world of print media. I have started this book review blog out of self-defense and the desire to help keep books in front of readers.
I will not review books that I dislike. I will just post brief reviews of books that I have found interesting and think others might like, too. And I will try to keep the reviews very short, because almost nobody reads long reviews anymore.
If the book can be found on Amazon, I will post a link where you can find it.
Likewise, I won’t post “paid” reviews. Nobody pays me to write these reviews. But if a particular book grabs your interest, I hope you will click on the link posted in the blog. It will take you to Amazon.com. If you buy the book via that link, I will make a few cents off the transaction. If you don’t like that arrangement, just go directly to Amazon.com or your favorite used book store, search for the title and make your best deal.
Thank you for visiting Third-Chance Book Reviews, and thank you for considering the books that I review.
