International Events in the Blogosphere

International Book Blogger Mentor Program
at Presenting Lenore
It can be tough to keep up with the book blogging community when you don’t live in the US or Canada. Publishers won’t send you books, most contests aren’t for you, and it can be next to impossible to find certain titles in your home country. Lenore would like to continue supporting international book bloggers and has decided to start the International Book Blogger Mentor Program. Any book blogger who blogs in English about books and lives outside the US and Canada can apply. Each month Lenore will pick one blogger to send 2-3 of my most recent review copies to. Upon request, she will also look over the reviews you write for the books and suggest improvements. Once you post your first review, you and your blog will be featured on Presenting Lenore.

Book Bloggers Abroad
at Leeswammes's Blog
An international event in the same vein as Book Blogging Around the World : What’s it like to be a book blogger in a far away country? Do you have access to the books you want to read? Do you have electricity failure or internet disruptions? Do you have limited time for blogging because you’re working full-time? Or do you have a housekeeper and plenty of free time? And where do you read? Is it warm enough to sit in the garden under a tree, or is it much too warm or cold for that? Where’s your favorite book store? What’s your favorite national author? Each week, Leeswammes is going to ask one guest blogger to answer these questions. It’s a great way to tell us about yourself, your country, and to get new people find their way to your blog.


The Book Read 'Round The World
at A Little Bookish
Carin sends a book around the world and have people report back to it by doing guest posts on her blog (and post on their blog about the experience as well).

  1. Thanks for this :) I got here via Leeswammes's Blog. I find that a lot of giveaways etc are only for US/Canada bloggers.

    I hope you're having a great weekend!

  3. Oh! Thank you for posting my event! If this round is successful, I definitely want to continue on with other books. It's sort of a pen friend-ish replacement that helps everyone network I think (and learn a little about another place in the process).

    I really appreciate you posting about the Book Read 'Round the World Event!
