Nope, not at all. Each month we send a list of books to the five chosen reviewers and get them to vote for a book they would like to read then review. The book with the most votes goes out to all five.
(The list of books changes each month)

Is there a particular book you would like to read/review then? :smile:


I like science books. :smile: But since you ask, these are some of the non-fiction books I would like to review:

No worries, it's hard to read subtleties and emotions via text :biggrin:
Really interested! I review books on my blog :smile:
I'm interested!
Hey everyone,

Thanks for all of your interested! We have picked our first five reviewers and the book they will be reviewing.

Our TSR reviewers for this month will be: TheTruthTeller, TheGreatImposter, Arkasia, Obiejess and macromicro.

The book will be: Matt Haig's Reasons to Stay Alive. I hope they like it! Watch out for the reviews of the book which we'll post up once we have them back.

For everyone else, do keep posting up your interest and you'll go into the hat for next month's review. Thanks to all that have opted in so far!
Hey. I am interested for this but do you accept international students?
Original post by Kittiara
Hi Sarah!

I would personally go for Cuckoo's Calling, because it is the first novel in the series. :smile: I also think it's right up my street, because I enjoy crime novels (love Michael Connelly's Bosch and Mickey Haller novels).


Great to hear :smile: We'll definitely get Cuckoo's Calling on the list of possible books to read/review for next month!

I've bought books from Wordery before (1984 and The Invisible Gorilla) so I'd love review books for them! :biggrin:


How did you find 'The Invisible Gorilla'? Was it good?
Original post by Juichiro
I like science books. :smile:


That is one very extensive and impressive list, thanks for sharing! We'll try and add in a science themed book in the list of possible books for next month. Be sure to show you interest in the book club towards the end of the month as we'll be on the look out for five new reviewers again :smile:

Great to hear that! :smile: We're just about to send the first book out to the first five students to be reviewed. So be sure to show your interest again towards the end of the month, as we'll be on the lookout for some new students to receive a free book and review it! :smile: We'd also love to hear of any books you would like to get your hands on and review as well, so we can create a new list of possible books for next month.
I'm interested! For the next month or just whenever you're doing another book send-out as such!
Do we find out on this thread who has been chosen or are the reviewers contacted individually? Xx
