Dropped Candy - Mini-Edition, Please Review Tonight's Specials
Review Request for Tonight’s Specials
Tonight’s Specials, Table for 7’s anthology that we indie-published in December 2024, needs book reviews. Can you help?
Why Review ⭐
A good way to help new readers discover Tonight’s Specials is by leaving a review on your favorite bookish site. Do you use Goodreads or a similar website? Are you an Amazon customer? Please write a review for us there!
If you don’t have a fav bookish spot on the Interwebs —your local library’s website works, too. Oh, wait. Is your library lacking a copy of Tonight’s Specials on their actual or virtual shelves (think: OverDrive, Libby, Hoopla)? You can recommend Tonight’s Specials by sharing the title and authors with library staff.
How to Review ⭐
Stars are nice. We especially like 5 in a row.
No, for real / if you’re new to writing reviews, or a reluctant reviewer, here’s what you can include: what you enjoyed about the anthology, what you didn’t quite enjoy or what may have confused you, a particular story that you connected with, interesting themes, sensory responses, or memories. Some people like to use the “sandwich” approach, which is to say something positive, add a point or two of constructive critique, and conclude with positivity, praise, or a hope for the book or author(s).
Reviews don’t need to be long. Completing the entire book isn’t necessary, although we’d prefer you skip this task if you haven’t read any of Tonight’s Specials anthology. (Say you got as far as the excellent forward by Annette Trossello and want to compliment her fine work —I bet she wouldn’t be mad.)
