Limelight Reviews (6)



Welcome book bloggers, to the newly renovated Limelight Reviews meme! Limelight Reviews was created by Kyla at Kyla Novelista in response to a shared desire to garner meaningful comments on the reviews we spend hours sweating over, getting just right. And then...

*CRICKETS*

Enter the Limelight Review meme.

*cue wild follower applause for this brilliant and even more brilliant idea*

The meme will go live every Friday. That gives you all an entire week... SEVEN (7) WHOLE DAYS... to pop over to three (3) blogs, read their reviews and leave your MEANINGFUL, WELL THOUGHT OUT comments. Bloggers please be aware that not everyone has read the book you reviewed. If your review contains spoilers, please tell us!

HOW DO YOU PLAY?

* You are not required to follow anyone -- including me, however, if you like the content of another blog, this is a great way to build meaningful connections.

* You will use the Mr. Linky at the bottom of each week's post to enter your review information and link.

* Please only enter one (1) review per week. I realize some of you post multiple reviews per week (or day), but for this meme, we are limiting each blog to one (1) entry per week.

* You need to post the link for the actual review not just your blog address, so people don't have to search for the review.

* Visit the SPOTLIGHTED REVIEW and two (2) other reviews from the list below and leave meaningful comments... the types of comments you want left on your blog... on each of the three (3) reviews.

* You MUST comment on the SPOTLIGHTED REVIEW and two (2) other reviews from the list below and leave meaningful comments on each of the three (3) reviews.

* You do NOT need to hop back to blogs that comment on your review; however, you may if you desire.

Please fill out the form in THIS POST if you'd like to submit a review to be featured in Limelight Reviews.

Okay... now that you know Da Rulz and how to participate...

Then post the link to your REVIEW in the YOUR URL field of the Linky.

That's it! Now... go make meaningful, tear jerking, awe inspiring comments on your fellow bloggers reviews!

  3. Definitely think this is an awesome idea. You guys work your butts off to bring us the latest and greatest in the way of books, the least us readers could do is show our appreciation with non-spammy comments!


    Smiles!

  4. Hey Lou,
    Just posted to the reviews. So sorry I am late. It totally slipped my mind. We need more people to post!

    Listen up everyone! This is FREE advertisement for your blog! FREE! Lou does all of the work by keeping the meme going and hosting it. All we have to do is copy and paste the link, comment on the featured review, and comment on two more. How is that hard? It is not. And it is not asking too much for directing a little of attention to your blog. While it is small now, if we all give just a bit of time, I'm talking 30 minutes each week, we can blow this thing up - together! So let's hop to it and spread the word!

    I know we can do it!
