Authors and Publishers

If your a publisher or author and would like me to review, host a contest, do an interview, or to just help spread the word about your book, please email me at charlawilson@me.com or lalas@cableone.net

I love books! I would love to read and review your book! I also love blogging about books and sharing that love with others. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help spread the word about your book. I would be more than happy to accept review copies from publishers and authors. I would also be happy to participate in author interviews, blog tours, and host contests.

I accept ebooks that can be loaded onto kindle.

I will always give review books top priority. Therefore, I will read the book in a timely manner. I will try not to post the review until about a month prior to release.

I will review every book that I read. I will only accept books that I believe I would like to read. If I do not like the book, I will not give it a totally negative review. I can usually find something good about every book I read. I would rather say nothing than give a book a total negative review. Just because I don't like a book does not mean that someone else would. Even if I don't review the book, I can spotlight it on my blog by offering it in a contest, or just do a Spotlight post on the book.

Thank You!

My Review:

My husband and me recently purchased a little place in the Smoky Mountains. Since then, I have been on a quest to decorate it in a rustic or lodge style and to do it inexpensively. This book is just what I have been looking for. It is full of fantastic ideas that are exactly what I have been looking for. The crafter or do it yourselfer will love the projects shown in this book. Chris Lubkeman gives you the basic information you need for working with different kinds of wood and wood working techniques. But, the best thing about this book is the inspiration. There are ideas for candle holders, checker sets, lamps, coat racks, kitchen utensil racks, salt and pepper shakers, curtain rods, etc. Each and every one of the projects can be made out of wood from trees growing in your yard. These projects are perfect for anyone wanting to go green because you can use wood from fallen trees or limbs you may trim from the trees in your yard. I love, love , love this book!

Here are a few photos of the many wonderful projects in this book:
