It Works!
I heard about Read It Forward from my sister. She signed up by "liking" Read It Forward on Facebook and in six months, she has won six books. They are all new, best-selling books that she has actually liked reading. It's not like they are giving away books that no wants to read.

A Little About Crown Publishing's Authors
The Meet the Author tab at Read It Forward takes you to articles about Crown Publishing authors. There you'll find interviews by authors of published books and books that will be coming soon. One interesting author interview I just read was by Susan Cain. Her book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking will be publishing in January 2012. She writes about parenting children who are introverted and how they can thrive in school and society with the appropriate methods.
