That sounds good Robert, Ill do the same..

I was in SF a week ago, and noticed a lot of coffee shops that had used book shelves. I was thinking about leaving them there. I have also tried to give books to libraries, because that would be a great place to have them recirculated. Unfortunately, most of the time they say they will staff it or something, and don't know where the book ends up. I agree, though. Dropping the books somewhere that they will see more circulation is great.
I think this review swap is great, especially for new authors who need an honest review from another author.

This is a great idea. I would love to participate in some review swaps. I guess I prefer Paranormal, Science fiction, fantasy and thriller but I'm open to try most genres. My book is Dead Medium by Peter John http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...I don't own a Kindle so I prefer to buy the paperback version, though I can read kindle on the P.C.
Many Thanks and my kindest regards
Peter John.
I am willing to do purchase and reviews of other works. Although my novel won't be published until June, the e-book is available at several online outlets, for $2.99. Following is a preview of the novel, "Disempowered." If anyone is interested in doing a review swap, please let me know: https://www.createspace.com/Preview/1...
I'm still looking for additional people to buy and review my book,'Look Not Unto the Morrow'. In exchange, I'll buy and review theirs. Currently I have purchased 5 book to read and review: 2 are paperbacks, and three are ebooks. My book is available in both formats. You can read about it, and my other books, here: http://www.robertfantina.com/. It is a Vietnam-era, anti-war love story.
Hi my book will be free tomorrow May 11, 2013 on Amazon and I would love more reviews. If you read and review send me a message so I can do the same for you. Thanks.The Harlot Speaks...

You can do the same with your book - and we can perform the review swap without swapping money at the same time! Find me on Facebook at www.facebook.com/vasile.poenaru, if you are still interested. Many thanks!
Hello all! Looking for reviews to swap.My book is about a young American man trying to fit in after moving to Hong Kong. While in Hong Kong, he dates a conservative Chinese girl with a racist family. Every other chapter takes place in the past, when the young man lived in Texas and dated an impulsive American blonde with a drug addiction. Because the two women are so completely opposite, every other chapter will carry with it a very different tone and atmosphere.
Let me know if you're interested by contacting me by email. jeremymorganwriter@gmail.com

I am looking to add to my review totals for my science fiction novel "Now & Again." My story follows a father and son who are swept into parallel worlds when they are killed in a series of car crashes. You can read the blurb and check out the first couple chapters along with the current reviews at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1Y2HBYIt's available as a download for $2.99 or paperback for $9.99. I'd be interested to consider a buy/read/review swap if someone is so inclined.

Hi, Robert.
I already replied to your email, but I figured I'd reply to your post as well. I got "Look Not Unto the Morrow" this afternoon and should have it in a few days. I'll let you know as soon as I have it in hand...
Best,
Alexandra
I would love to participate in a purchase swap review. Although my novel Angel’s Breath is a paranormal fantasy, it does not seem to sit well with everyone who likes this genre. It also takes some time to read… In addition to that, it is self-published and not professionally edited, as I’m currently unemployed. I have done my best to clean it up, so there shouldn’t be too many hang-ups.
If anyone is interested in swapping, I recommend that you read the prologue available on Amazon first. If that works for you, please let me know, and perhaps we can swap either digital or paperback versions.
Here is hoping,
Yvonne von Innes

Excuse the impertinence but I would like to point out that there are too many books using the same title, also I think you should work on the description. It is written in short, terse sentences that are unpleasant to read. for example:
Your version:
Angel's Breath is an unconventional vampire fiction.
It embraces elements of architecture, religion, and romance.
More reader friendly:
Angel’s Breath, an unconventional story about vampires embraces other elements as well, such as architecture, religion, and romance.
best wishes,
Will Phillips

You have a good point, but I feel that my title is appropriate and can’t help that others have chosen a similar one.
I also appreciate your remarks on my book description, which I will look at more closely. My writing style, however, does not have a friendly, happy-go-lucky feel to it (hence my disclaimer).
Thank you for your offer. I wish that I could take it up. Unfortunately, the theme of Death in Hollywood is not something along my tastes. I don’t watch TV or follow actors, and do not shop at stores which display magazines…
Your premise is interesting, and the environment you write about is real. It should be made public and discussed. I just can’t stomach suicide and murder at this point in my life.
Thanks again for your input,
Yvonne

HI Yvonne;I read the prologue, and it looks interesting. Check out my current book, 'Look Not Unto the Morrow,' a Vietnam-era, anti-war story. However, based on a comment you made to another potential reviewer, it may not be of interest to you. You can see it on Amazon.com, or my website: http://www.robertfantina.com/.
If you are interested, you'd need to give me a week or so. I have a couple of other books I've promised to read and review first.
Regards,
Robert Fantina

The book title is 'A Bag of Dreams, but I'm afraid that it too is on sale at stores that sell magazines. Most of my books are. I knew it was a mistake to offer criticism. Most authors simply want praise and yet undeserved praise won't help sell 2 cents worth of books.
Willard wrote: "Yvonne wrote: "Willard wrote: "Yvonne wrote: "I would love to participate in a purchase swap review. Although my novel Angel’s Breath is a paranormal fantasy, it does not seem to sit well with ever..."Ouch!
Willard, the lady said you had a good point about her title but felt it was appropriate. She said she appreciated your other remarks and would consider them. She said good things about your other book (an easy mistake to make if she just clicked on your name to get to your book) and she declined politely to swap with you.
I don't think she deserved your acidic comments about wanting only undeserved praise and that only friends have reviewed her book. I know we all want to add to our reviews but easy does it here.
Hi Robert,I have "Look Not Until Tomorrow" on Kindle and started it this morning. I'm hooked - Roger has just received his call-up notice, and there's an undertone things are going to get intense. I'm keen to read on & will draft a review when I've finished. I haven't received "Desertion and the American Soldier" yet but Amazon tells me it's on the way. Sorry about the delay starting on "Look Not.."; until yesterday I've been tied up with Vassily Grossman's monumental "Life and Fate". Cheers, Des
Hi Des;And I'm about halfway through 'The Call', and can't put it down! I was supposed to read another book first, but picked up yours first. I expect to finish it this weekend (if not tonight!).
Regards,
Bob
I have not received my Kindle yet to download books, but I will gladly write reviews of books from the descriptions on Amazon and from reading what I can in the book itself. If anyone would like to do the same for me I wuld be SO VERY grateful!These are my four books on Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk

I also have one book only on Amazon Kindle called, 'Nobody's Pets' In Cyprus. Stories about the dogs & cats I have rescued using the proceeds from all my books. All my books are edited by myself, since I need to save wherever possible so I can help the poor animals. This is why I can not afford to put my books on free. It is a sad situation here where ill-treated, abandoned dogs need help and also feral cats. It's only a drop in the ocean, but every drop counts! :-) Thanks for reading. Diane Griffith

I don't know if anyone noticed that I wrote a good review of, 'Death In Hollywood' on Amazon. I found the book very interesting and informative. Diane Griffith
Hi guys! If anyone's interested my book Moving In: Tales of an Unlicensed Marriage is out and available on Amazon now! It's the hilarious tale of the first year I spent fixing up an old house in the country with my partner.Moving In: Tales of an Unlicensed Marriage
Hi Bruce; 'Moving In' sounds interesting. Are you insterested in a review swap? My book 'Look Not Unto the Morrow' is a Vietnam era romance. You can see it on Goodreads or my website: robertfantina.com.
Let me know. If you are interested, we can buy and review each other's books.
Regards,
Bob
To all;I've read a few very interesting books through this review swap, and have received some very nice reviews myself. I'm looking for more of both! If you are interested in reading my novel, 'Look Not Unto the Morrow', a Vietnam era, anti-war love story, let me know. I'll buy, read and review yours in exchange for buying, reading and reviewing mine.
I currently have one book on my 'to read' list, and hope to have that purchased, read and reviewed by mid-week. Then I'll be open to whatever comes next.
Regards,
Bob

I would be so grateful if you could write a few kind words on one of my books! There is enough info on descriptions. maybe 'Chasing Dreams In Lefkas.'?I have a cyber bully who has got some of his friends to trash it. I need a nice review to come in front of their nasty ones. Sometimes people use this media to make personal attacks for private 'old reasons.' It's sad! I can't stop him, so I ignore but he is stopping the sales and I need my books to sell so I can help the ill-treated & abandoned dogs here in Cyprus, and the feral cats too! :-( Diane

Hi Diane,
I am also an expat living in Honduras and enjoy reading about others living the same kind of life. My memoir is called HERE WE ARE & THERE WE GO: Teaching and Traveling With Kids in Tow, if you would be interested in a review swap. I'd love to learn more about Lefkas, too!
You can find me on Goodreads and my author page is www.facebook.com/JillDobbeAuthor.
I look forward to hearing from you!
