This is a sad day indeed. I just received this email...this very minute...and had to share it with my readers.
I've loved working with Blogging for Books over the past few years. I was able to receive, read and review many truly AWESOME books, written by some truly AWESOME authors. But all good things come to an end eventually and the Blogging for Books teams has decided to close up shop.
Blogging for Books, you will definitely be missed by this reader/reviewer. It's been fabulous fun and I've enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the reading memories!

Hi Bloggers,
We’re writing to you today with news that after ten years, Blogging for Books is closing down. The last day to request your final title is Thursday, March 15th and the last day to submit your final review is Sunday, April 15th.
We have loved building this community with you and we would like to take a moment to acknowledge the nearly 100,000(!) reviews that have been posted over the years. Your feedback—glowing, incisive, thoughtful, humorous, rapturous, and everything in between—has been so valuable. Along the way, we hope we’ve helped you find a new favorite book (or 10). We also have several resources available that we think you’ll love when B4B is gone:
Netgalley: The same selection of books you’ve come to expect on Blogging for Books will still be available to request as electronic copies! You can visit us here.
First to Read: Each month, First to Read offers digital galleys of not-yet-published books to their members. You earn points for your interaction on the site, including reading, reviewing, and sharing. Learn more about this fun program here.
Read It Forward: A website with a healthy obsession for authors, stories, and the readers who love them. Every week they host a new literary giveaway and share book recommendations, author videos, and more. Sign up for their newsletter program here.
We’ll be in touch several times over the coming weeks to remind you of deadlines and answer questions. In the meantime, you can check out our sunset FAQ here.
Happy blogging,
Emma Shafer
