Well, they're not necessarily where I get my books, just some places I know. I love your way, though, you get to know the author even before you read his book so it's like a special connection (:

Veronica Morfi (vmorfi) | 464 comments I had no idea there are so many places. I have to admit I never got review books...

These are just some places I got off the top of my head, if I search my email I bet I could find a LOT more. I know so many places but I only use three or four of these resources lol

Brenna (everafteresther) Kismet does book tours too.
and netGalley is amazing! Whawt would we do without it?! lol.

Most of mine come from the various publishers. That's something to keep in mind too!

David Santos (authordas) So far the trusted sites have been goodreads and booksneeze (Christian bookstore) and they are the most organized out of the first few on the list. You dont want to give your address to every website. Im sticking with GD and BS until I get confirmation of others.

Librarything just hosts the giveaways, while the actual books are sent via the publisher. It's essentially another Goodreads, but less focused on being a social media site.

Tyndale is a publisher itself, so that one is reliable if you're looking for Christian books.

I think Kismet and Bewitching mainly do e-books for their tours, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I just got accepted by Kismet, but it doesn't put me in its tours! :((

Barbara Rayne (barbararayne) We've got a little group "Book supply for blog giveaways" here:
http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/6...

Authors offer their books to bloggers for giveaways or other purposes, so it can be a source to get review copies in case someone is interested.
