Bookdagger Real Readers
registration form

The Bookdagger Real Readers panel gives crime and thriller fans the chance to read books before they are published, comment on cover designs and give feedback on specific topics to publishers.

The first 4 titles have been confirmed as -
  • The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag - Alan Bradley
  • The Detective Branch - Andrew Pepper
  • A Dark Matter - Peter Straub
  • Saints of New York - R.J. Ellory
If you're interested in the above books this is how it works -
  • Tell us a bit about yourself, your reading habits and preferences and your online life
  • We will send you crime books carefully selected for your reading tastes, before they are published, so you can tell us – 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
  • Please note that you must be resident in the UK or Republic of Ireland to take part
When I posted the Bookhugger panel in August it was very popular and registration closed quickly due to the number of applications. If you're interested I would recommend you register as soon as possible.

For those who aren't crime and thriller readers I've been told that the Bookhugger panel will re-open soon for a limited period of time

Happy reading :eek:

  • Well worth signing up for this. I received a book from bookdagger last week, The Weed That Strings The Hangman's Bag, and one from bookhugger, The Pacific, a few weeks before. Both are under the same umbrella and I feel honoured to be asked my opinion on these tomes.

    If you don't get a response from them then google around a bit, as other websites are looking for readers as well.

    Get reading!

    Life beyond voluntary work scares me, but what else is there? :cry:
  • do u hav to return the books after reading?
  • No, you don't.

    If you do sign up for any of these then please, do make the effort to post a review. It'll will help other readers make a choice and will benefit you in the long run, as you'll be receiving more books. :)
