So -- Nuala readers. Looks like I'm going to have 100 ARCs (Advanced Reading Copies) available at Library Things next month. (Not really ARCs, since the book comes out September 30, but that's all right -- this is a rolling launch, for the series.) But I need to provide a few things, like a 200-600 word description of the book, and also the ISBNs of five books that if the reader liked them, they might like Fires of Nuala.

So -- when you have tried to get others to try the books, what have you used as a teaser? What books would you use in that line up in the subject header?

The way I look at it, Warner didn't do something right, since I constantly get email from people saying "Why didn't I know about these when they came out?" Let's see if we can do better!

What is an ARC? Is having 100 a good thing?

Two books I'd put near Nuala:

ARC=Advanced Reading Copy

Sorry about that -- Actually, I may just set a limit on how many and see how many are requested -- I think they have requests for 500 of Chris's latest book (Chris Dolley @ BVC) but it is original.

a couple of thoughts then I have to run out the door to work.

1)martha wells - especially her last Ile-rien trilogy.
2)Linnea Sinclair
3)Kate Elliott

Those all would have been good ones, thank you for answering! You don't need to get the ISBNs -- I had to turn it in, so went with what we'd all come up with by then. But you can start thinking up a good blurb to use when the Facebook page goes up! Everyone should think of what they'd want to tell people to get them to read the book, and then go post it as a review on Amazon! %^)
