Just bumping this back up.

Here is a quote from another site, dated 02/20/09

I thought this was worth mentioning again since i got 4 books just this past week. Just sign up and click “First Look” and then you can select the books you would like to review…just write a brief reason why you want to. I seem to only get selected for the children’s books and they are usually for ages 7-12.

My kids are younger than that but i have a nice little library for them for when they are older. I did just read a Flat Stanley with my son and even though he’s 5 he seemed to enjoy it.

Thought some of the new people might like to try it.

Looks interesting. I have heard of advance reading copies but never knew how one obtained one. My oldest daughter has an advanced editing copy of a new book to be out in May this year about overeating.

I really wanted to read it when I stayed at her house but my Lost dvds beckoned too loudly.
