Working for a Vacation

This year I’m going away for two and a half weeks on vacation to Costa Rica!  That means a lot of tanning, swimming, zip lining, snorkeling and even a little bit of shopping.  But what does it mean for The Mad Reviewer?

Well, you’ll see very little changes while I’m gone because I’ve already scheduled enough posts to fill up my vacation time.  Sure, there will be a lot of Royal Diaries books because, hey, they’re quick.  But other than that, you will see virtually no changes in the quality or frequency of posting.  I’m taking my laptop, so I’ll still be responding to comments and I’ll still be doing my regular guest posting commitments.  I will also be (finally) getting to a lot of books on my In Progress list in the evenings when there’s not much to do.  So expect a lot of indie/self-publishing reviews next month.

However, if there’s anyone who would like to guest post for me (especially because I make it a point to reciprocate) in March, please read this article.  I don’t have much criteria for guest posting and in exchange for posting, you’ll not only get publicity, but a post on your blog from me.  Since I can’t pay you and I don’t think it’s fair you have to work for free, my post trading policy seems pretty fair.  It’s a better deal than you’ll get in lots of places.

The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

When you see the cover of The Replacement, you’ll understand why I picked it.  But was it right to judge the book by its awesome cover?  Head on over to The Streetlight Reader for my guest post today.  And while you’re over there, check out some of Savindi’s awesome reviews.  Guaranteed you’ll find new books to add to your reading list.

Posting for 20four12

Today it’s my turn to guest post for Caleb over at 20four12, so I reviewed Empty by Suzanne Weyn.  Have you ever read a book that had an amazing premise and just fell flat on its face?  Well, then you’ll be able to sympathize with my reading experience.  To see the great premise in question, head on over to 20four12!  And while you’re over there, you should check out Caleb’s other reviews and add some more books to your science fiction lists.

Guest Posting with Adrienne deWolfe (2)

Today I published Part 2 of my two part series with Adrienne deWolfe over at WritingNovelsThatSell.com.  This time I did a list called: 5 Ways to Get a Good Review and it gives some practical tips to authors on how to get good reviews from independent book bloggers like myself.  So go on and check it out!  It’s a beauty of a rant list.

Posting for 20four12

I swear guys, I really am guest posting today!

Anyway, today I guest posted over at 20four12, reviewing a book that had I bothered to look at the author’s name, I never would have picked up.  However, I’m glad I was lazy because I found a very good book from an author that has improved vastly since his first book.  So if I’ve piqued your curiosity, feel free to go read my review of Beyonders: A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull.  I promise there are no gigantic cow milking scenes in this one.
