Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee's View and Alison Can Read
This week's question:
What have you learned from book blogging that you didn't know before about the publishing industry?
Everything!
For one, I didn't know that publishers sent out advanced copies of books for review so far in advance. And I definitely didn't know they sent out copies to people like us, regular, everyday people who just like to talk about books online. That's crazy, right? I thought review books went out to serious and highly respected book reviewers and publications only!
Every day I feel so lucky to be a part of the book blogging community!

I know an author so I knew of ARC's but I was nervous about them, like I would get in trouble if they caught me with one. New follower PageGirlsPageofBookReviews
ReplyDeleteI did not know about ARCs. I remember when I was starting to blog again this past May, I was wondering what ARC stood for, as everyone else was saying it a lot lol

I knew publishers sent out review copies to libraries and book reviewers journals, but had no idea that they sent them out to bloggers either. It is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about ARCs either. Makes it so cool.
