The first one I stumbled upon via LibraryThing. If you like book talk, then BookChase is a good one to keep up with.

J. Ray’s The Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, for the Deep South group‘s “book of the month” reading challenge. Thoughts are posted on LibraryThing. Though I only thought it so-so, I still liked it better than the last one I read for the group, back in December.

LibraryThing has teamed up with Random House for a new program. You can read all about it in the Early Reviewers Group. Basically, you agree to read and review whatever book/ARC they send to you.
That’s it. Just sign up and they’ll put you on the list to get a book.
