On Monday I had a comment from a new (to me) blogger. I went over to the blog, as you do, and the most recent post was about her spring reading list. There was also a picture of a book she was going to read and review for Harper Collins. I left a comment saying I would love to find out about reviewing books.
The next morning I had a comment from Michelle, the blogger, leaving me email address of someone at Harper Collins. I quickly shot of an email, and didn't really expect to hear anything.
Within about 5 minutes I had received an email back asking for my address. Efficient or what?
I was coming up from the laundry room not 20 minutes ago when Saoirse said "Mummy! Door!" and there was a man with a nice little package. And what should it be, but 3 books from Harper Collins! Super efficient!
I'll take a picture later, but this is what I got...
Gorgeously Green- 8 Simple Steps to an Earth- Friendly Life by Sophie Uliano. I don't really think of myself as super green but I've taken a quick glance and it looks really interesting. For instance, did you know you can compost paper towels , pet hair and unpaid bills (I'll assume you can also compost paid ones.) There is a list of 80 things and at least 50 are a total surprise to me. I can think of a few bloggers out there who would love this book. I wonder if I am allowed to pass it on.
Sex Detox by Ian Kerner. Recharge desire. Revitalize Intimacy. Rejuvenate your love life. Hmmmm...I wonder if she took a quick peek at my blog and came across my quest to get laid. Which, FYI, did eventually happen. After I had a sulk.
Babyproofing Your Marriage- Cockrell, O'Neill and Stone. Another one that looks quite good, and definitely could be used in a house overrun by children.
I'm quite excited to start on these books. I'm a little nervous about reviewing them, I hope I can do them justice. And justify the fact that they just sent me over $80 worth of books. For free! Because I have a blog! I knew this little old blog would pay one day.

If only I were as efficient as the people at Harper Collins

Wow, that's brilliant! So, Emma, here's my email address....sandy.swopes@gmail.com Feel free to shoot me that address at Harper Collins, OK?
oh how cool. i am super interested in Gorgeously Green. We have really taken some steps to reduce waste and energy consumption up in here...

Awesome. I wouldn't mind reviewing some books, either...
How cool is that I have thought it would be fun to review books. :)
Oh wow! That is really cool!
So, how would let's say someone else get involved in something like that??? hint hint
Looks like I'm not alone...I would love to review some books too. All three you received sound interesting, especially the first two. Looking forward to your reviews.
That is amazing efficiency. There is something I wouldn't mind doing. I would love that first one. I am beyond the third one, and the second one, no comment. What a great gig. Looking forward to what you have to say about them.
That was me that wrote that one, too efficient and not too accurate, hitting the publish button before getting my info in.
That is WAY cool!

So cool. Looking forward to the reviews.
Could you choose what type of books were sent?
Free books? Where do I sign up? That is awesome!! They all sound interesting and I cannot wait to hear what you have to say about them all!
I know you are getting a million requests, but if they are looking for anyone else, I would love to do it!!
That sounds pretty cool I've gotten a couple of things recently to review I just need to get done trying them out to write them. I like getting free stuff!
Ohh, Ohh, can I sign up? I want to read. csbarham04@yahoo.com That's freakin awesome.
LOL too funny! EVERYONE wants to review books now. Cept me. I'll just read YOUR reviews :) Sounds like a lot of fun and something you'd be good at and you certainly can't go wrong with Harper Collins books.
That green one sounds fantastic! I think I'll have to look into getting my own copy. So is that a gig just for Canadian bloggers I wonder?
Enjoy all your great books!
that is very cool. Did you talk to Felicia? Harper Collins rocks! I've got three of their books right now too.
After reading this, I shot her an email of my own and expect to get my books this week. Way cool!
Can anyone do this? Sign me up!
This is amazing--I mean, how quick and easy and unexpected...and what in life is like that?
Congrats!
