The LibraryThing Early Reviewer program is an amazing resource for readers and publishers. Each month, LibraryThing distributes well over 1,000 books to readers with the idea that participants will review the books, thereby generating interest and, the authors and publishers hope, sales.
Recently, LibraryThing added a feature to the Early Review program that gives participants access to a personalized page listing the books they received through the program. This page lets participants keep track of which books arrived and which books they have reviewed. I try not to let this page nag at me.
This is my progress list. Those I have read are in red, with links to reviews.
