In order to be able to continue doing the debut announcements, I had to make some changes. They were taking about an hour to put together, and I kept getting further and further behind. This new format will also permit me to announce debuts on the day of their release, because I no longer will be searching for and vetting possible links. I've discovered many good blogs while trolling for reviews to link to, but I will hopefully will continue to do so through other methods. Plus, I'm constantly putting links in the Other Debut Coverage box. It changes every day.
What I will continue doing
- Link to various Amazon releases (this may change to B&N -- they seem to have a better shipping policy)
- Link to author websites and blogs
- Include official blurb
- Comment with my initial reaction
- Provide ongoing links in Other Debut Coverage box
- Search for and link to reviews/interviews/articles
- Include image of book
- Include publisher info and links
- Include book format
- Include excerpt link
- Announce on day of release (or close to it, in the case of multiple releases on the same day)

Sounds terrific Tia! :)
Thank you!!
I like your committment to this..and definitely appreciate the need to balance time...etc. searching for reviews is tough... and time-consuming.
Thank you, Carole. If I cut back on everything else, I will at least try to keep up with these for as long as I run this blog.
