Closed for the time being to allow them to process the applications they've received. I asked bookgeeks when it might re-open and he said it could be months as they wait for more publishers to get involved. I've asked for the post to be moved. :)

Real Readers


The Bookhugger real readers panel gives you the chance to read and review books before they are published, comment on cover designs and give feedback on specific topics to publishers.

This is how it works:
  • Tell them a bit about yourself, your reading habits and preferences and your online life
  • They will send you books carefully selected for your reading tastes, before they are published, so you can tell them – and the world – what you think
  • There will also be chances to get books for friends and family, attend exclusive author events and share your thoughts with authors and publishers
Happy reading :)

    Thanks a lot for this, I'm doing a 'Read 100 Books This Year' challenge with my Mum & Grandma this year, and I spend a fortune on books so this could save me a fortune! I review books on Goodreads anyway so this would be fab!

  • I don't usually bump posts to thank but... Thank you!

    I've finally managed to ditch the TV in favour of books and I'm glad I done so. Hopefully my application will be successful and I'll get to read some diverse books from emerging young (and old!) talent.
    Life's what you make it....

    Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there? :cry:

  • Thank you all for your applications. Due to the number we have received, we are closing down to new applicants for the time being. This is to give us a chance to process applications and ensure that the pool of reviewers is not too big initially.

    It may be a little while before you get anything to read, as we are still getting up to speed, so your patience is appreciated!

    Thanks, Simon from Real Readers
