Astrea Press Free eBooks!

Novel Reaction is excited to share a new publisher, Astrea Press, with all its readers. Over the next couple of months we are going to be posting reviews of several of their books. Astrea Press is an epublisher (meaning their books are published in ebook format) that publishes only sweet romance, young adult and inspirational titles. In celebration of their birthday they are giving away a free ebook each day for the month of February. You can find all the titles they have available for free at their blog here.

Book Bloggers and Publishers Online Conference 2012

It’s that time of year again, the Book Bloggers and Publishers Online Conference will be March 7-11, 2012. This Conference is an amazing opportunity to learn from industry experts from the comfort of your own home.  We already have some great panelists lined up including Sue Grimshaw from Random House Romance, Jennifer Bonnell from Penguin YA editing, Lindsey Rudnickas from NetGalley, Kristin Lamb from Wana Consulting, Don Dauria from Samhain Publishing, Kate Lied from Bloomsbury Teen, Ariel Tachna from Dreamspinner Press, Danielle Poiesz from Book Country, to name just a few. You can find the tentatively scheduled panels at  http://pacomediagroup.com/?p=45 .


Like previous Conferences, most panels will be recorded live with attendees able to listen in, call in and chat online with other attendees. The recorded panels will be available for approximately one month after the Conference has ended so you can listen again or catch any that you may have missed. A few of the panels will be pre-recorded based upon the availability of the panelists. If there is a specific topic you would like to hear please let us know.


Registration is now open at  http://pacomediagroup.com/ . We have free books for all paying attendees generously donated by different publishers. In addition, we are giving away a group of books to one blogger who posts about the Conference, you can read the details on how to enter  http://pacomediagroup.com/?p=91 .
Why Ratings?
It is true you can't judge a book by its cover, you also can't judge a book's graphic content by its cover. NovelReaction's goal is to provide readers with a graphic content so they can make an informed decision regarding the books they want to read. (Also, to have a great place for people to discuss books.) So sit back, pull up a beverage, and read on!
Ratings*

1 = kissing
2 = kissing, some fondling
3 = descriptive stripping but no sex
4 = sex scene but not descriptive in details
5 = full descriptive sex scene

*I am rating a specific book by an author, not the author's style. If I am aware an author writes a specific way, I will let you know.
