A few days ago I put a bug in the ears of a couple of my most rabid readers. I told them I wanted to start a book club at recess for books that aren't published yet. Aren't published yet? How is that possible? Like, we'd be the first ones to read them? grin I pointed to three unopened boxes of ARCs—Advanced Reader Copies—and explained what ARCs are and why publishers and sometimes the authors themselves send them to book reviewers and bloggers. I added that I had no idea what book titles were inside the boxes (knowing full well that last year's ARC box contained quite a few super hits). I left the mystery boxes in plain sight on a shelf and let the ear bug go to work. I watched and listened for an hour or so as the whispers went 'round. still grinning
