Do you love to review books? Do you post reviews on Amazon? Are you an avid blogger? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the Transworld Summer Reading Challenge is for you!
Running from June to September we’re letting bloggers pick four titles from the list below to be sent for review. Review the book on your blog or on Amazon and send us the link, then we’ll send you out the second book on your list.* It’s as easy at that!
At the end of the Summer (fingers crossed for a warm September!) we’ll host a mini shindig for the most active bloggers to celebrate completing the challenge and chat about our Autumn titles. We’d love to meet you in person!
Post this header and the packshot above (we’ll send it to you) linking back to Between the Lines to commence your challenge!

What a fantastic idea! Can’t wait to get started! Now which four to choose….
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:59 am
Yes please! I’ve not done reviews on amazon before but I’ve done them for both Waterstones and WHSmith and I blog a lot.
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:01 am
Definitely up for a bit of this action! Fab idea, but I agree with Rob, choosing will be tricky!
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:04 am
Great idea and challenge for all that (hopeful) deckchair time coming up.
I’m in - please
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:04 am
Great idea. I’m in - I’m just setting up a new blog for interviews and reviews.
June 23rd, 2010 at 10:07 am
Yup - that’s a great idea (and one we can all really get our teeth into).
Look forward to hearing from you.
