Are there new books you are waiting for? I have a batch of new books from Kensington Books that they are giving me the opportunity to giveaway. All that they ask is that you help get the word about these titles by either posting a review on the website of any major retailer {and you all know who they are if you are addicted to books like I am} or your website along with posting a link on their bookpage at kensingtonbooks.com.
