While getting ready for my class this Thursday, I reviewed all the wonderful things I’ve gotten from book reviews, They included:
Notes from authors of the books I reviewed:
- • The author of a coaching book wrote to say “The universe created coaching…”
- • Another author wrote defensively: “I disagree with your appraisal of my book…”
- • One wrote a nice note. “Nice of you to encourage authors.”
- Countless thank you notes for the reviews.
Some pretty awful books that I couldn’t bring myself to read, let alone review
Some good books I wouldn’t have found otherwise. For example, I really enjoyed:
- The Load by Doug White
- The Codyman by Linda Stubbs
- Embracing Fear by Thom Rutledge
CDs of easy-listening music
Books from publishers, often of popular books I wanted to read anyway.
And best of all…
Ezine subscribers
Buyers of my own ebooks
Wonderful clients
And then there are the non-material rewards…
Reviewing books is fun. If you have strong views on medical, justice, or social systems, you can find a forum. I suspect more people read book reviews more closely than read the Letters to the Editor of most newspapers.
I’m excited to be sharing the story of how I got into this on Thursday:
