Through the Looking Glass Book Reviews: competition

Welcome!

Dear Book Lovers, Welcome! I am delighted that you have found The Through the Looking Glass blog. For over twenty years I reviewed children's literature titles for my online journal, which came out six times a year. Every book review written for that publication can be found on the Through the Looking Glass website (the link is below). I am now moving in a different direction, though the columns that I write are still book-centric. Instead of writing reviews, I'm offering you columns on topics that have been inspired by wonderful books that I have read. I tell you about the books in question, and describe how they have have impacted me. This may sound peculiar to some of you, but the books that I tend to choose are ones that resonate with me on some level. Therefore, when I read the last page and close the covers, I am not quite the same person that I was when first I started reading the book. The shift in my perspective might be miniscule, but it is still there. The books I am looking are both about adult and children's titles. Some of the children's titles will appeal to adults, while others will not. Some of the adult titles will appeal to younger readers, particularly those who are eager to expand their horizons.

An Invitation to write a review.

If you are visiting this blog then you are, in all likelihood, a lover of children's literature. If you enjoy reading children's books and have something to say about the books you read, I would be delighted to hear from you. Through the Looking Glass Book Review and this blog invites you to become a guest reviewer. Take a look at the reviews that we have already written on the Through the Looking Glass Book Review website to see what we are looking for and then put pen to paper - or fingers to keyboard - and write a review on a children's book that you have read recently and that you like. If we like what you send then we will publish your review on the website and on this blog. Please include you name, address, email, and website information (if any) with your review so we can give you credit for your work. Later in the year we will be holding a competition for newbie reviewers. Keep checking this blog for more information.
