If you're a fairly quick reader and you would like a review copy of my novel, Playing with the Moon, short-listed for the World Book Day 'Book to talk about 2008', I have some review copies to post out.

I only ask: that you read it and pass it on to at least one other person before the end of the month; and:

that you leave a comment on the site below, again before the end of this month, and, if you enjoyed the book, think about voting for me on the same site. Obviously if you don't enjoy it please don't vote for me (though the comments would be useful) but pass the book on anyway. I'm trying to get new readers (and votes if possible) before voting stops at the beginning of March.

I'm not on CAT but anyone interested can email me on grheliz AT gmail.com

Here's the link I mentioned above, which has more information about my novel and why it's been shortlisted for the award:

madamy · 23/02/2008 20:52

Thanks v much Eliza - have emailed you! Will be happy to pass on once read so will check back here first

RipMacWinkle · 23/02/2008 21:18

Planning to post this tomorrow (so hopefully it can still be read in time to vote for Eliza....if you like the book of course).

If you're sure Oggs (sorry for confusion) then Slugs send me your address:

[email protected]

If I don't hear from you before I send tomorrow I'll send to Oggs so that someone definitely gets it.

Hope that sounds fair

SlugsNSnails · 23/02/2008 21:23

Aww thank you oggs I know it probably won't be read and to you and read again in time to vote, but I will send it on to you afterwards just to read if you haven't had one before

oggsfrog · 23/02/2008 23:45

No problem Slugs - you were before me on the waiting list. It would be great if you could send it on after you've read it .

Eliza2 · 24/02/2008 09:41

Madamy--on the way.

If anyone's still without I can probably track it down for you at your nearest public library.

Finished it.
Bookwormmum sent me her copy and I've now read it.
I'm a bit confused about who is next. I think it might be OGG.
Whoever it is please email me and I'll post it tomorrow. Hopefully you can read it time to vote.

Hiya OGG. Received your email and I'll post it today x

Eliza2 · 26/02/2008 19:37

I've just found out that voting ENDS ON THIS FRIDAY 29th.

Obviously it's for an individual reader to decide how much of a book they need to read to have a feel for how it's going.

Here is the link again:
