Welcome to @bookies

@bookies is a Twitter community for book lovers, created by @Holly_T, and coordinated by four Executive Board members: @JennWebb, @RaimaLarter, @BethFishReads, @GayWalker, @booksliesalibis, @ellefie, @Holly_T.

To participate in @bookies discussions real time, just go to http://search.twitter.com/ You can also set up your Tweetdeck columns to catch @bookie posts.

@bookies board members will tweet a "Question of the Day," interesting links, and will retweet great book mentions that they find around Twitter or on the Web.

@bookies is a space for book discussions ONLY. It is not a place for self-promoters to congregate or to send marketing links. Board members will warn self-promoters once, and then block any user who does not respect the ethos of the group.

All questions or comments can be sent to twitter.bookies[at]gmail.com or via Twitter DM.

Note to publicists: You may contact the Editorial Board at the email address above for review requests or ARCs. The Ed Board evaluates requests and assigns reviews only for those books that will have strong potential appeal to our readership.
