Percolating slowing through the blogosphere - a great idea

The wonderful Mhairi Petrovic told me about the mini BookExpo for bloggers yesterday and it's a wonderful idea - claim an available book, or two, or three, and blog about them within a month, linking back to the publisher and the author.

Since I often blog about books - old, new, purchased, borrowed from friends or the library, picked up in the laundry room (if it's a book I'm going to look at it) - it seemed like a natural.

I've requested three titles: one about guerrilla PR, one about building the brand of you to advance your career (something I witnessed when working for a global PR agency but didn't much appreciate as I was too busy working to worry about building my own brand, thank you very much), and the third - well, it's a fun one about dating younger men. Or at least I hope it will be.

New titles continue to be added and there are a few more books left.

Check it out.

Update: oops, that will teach me not to blog before reading the FAQ. Seems my initial choices were all gone already, but there are more to come - if you're looking for books to read and review, check the 'to be released' selection and wait till you get your confirmation email before blogging about it. Oh and it seems my book lust got the better of me: there is a limit of two books at a time.
