    I recently received 2 ARCs (Advance Reading Copies), one from a publisher via librarything.com and the other from waterstones.co.uk.

    I've gotten a taste for free books now, so I'm wondering if there is any other way of getting ARCs. I'm happy to write reviews in return.

    Get a job in a bookshop! We get them sent out all the time from publishers, they just go to whatever staff want them.

    Already in full-time employment so that's not an option.

    Haha, well wasn't really a serious suggestion! You'd hardly change jobs just for ARC's!:D

    Though I've always harboured a dream of working in a bookshop since I was a kid. Maybe one day when I make my millions, I'll set up my little independent bookshop and have all the books I want. Oh, and it will have a great café/bar attached as well.

    /sigh, dream

    Well someone has to do it. Why couldn't it be you?
    I'll say that running your own business while rewarding is hell on a stick too.
