Hello bookish friends and a very happy Thursday to you. I don’t have a review to share with you today but I do have some exciting news, which probably won’t come as a massive surprise if you’ve paid damppebbles a visit at all in the last couple of months!

#R3COMM3ND3D IS BACK!

Woohoo! Because I flipping love it and, from the feedback I’ve had, you rather like it too, #R3COMM3ND3D (in the form of #R3COMM3ND3D2019) will start on 1st November! If you’re new to damppebbles then allow me to explain what #R3COMM3ND3D is all about.

#R3COMM3ND3D is where I ask book bloggers and published authors to recommend three ‘must read’ books which the rest of us should really make a point of picking up. Three titles you love and want to shout about.  They don’t have to be your top three books of the year – just three books that have knocked your socks off and you think others will enjoy. Any author, any genre, traditionally, indie or self-published. Sounds easy, right? There is one catch – they must have been published in 2019 (and I will check!).  There are a few other teeny tiny rules (such as reissues and special editions don’t count but we’ll gloss over that for now…).

The feature will run from 1st November until 30th December, excluding 24th, 25th and 26th December. All other dates are up for grabs. And if there is a specific date you would like then you only have to say and I will do my best to accommodate it.  I’m more than happy to schedule your #R3COMM3ND3D for a date to coincide with a book release, a special promotion or an anniversary/blogiversary.  And if you’re a published author, I always include information about your latest book in the post too (here’s an example).

Tempted? Go on, you know you want to 😉. If you would like to take part then all you have to do is fill in the following form with as much information as possible about why you love each of the three books you’ve picked (or click this link: https://forms.gle/PE483qCyrKEgV5Uq6):

Please don’t delay. Out of the 57 places available, 21 of those have already been claimed. Eeeeek!
