You don't? Well let's change that immediately!
Since Jalisa came up with both the concept and the super cool name, I will allow her to explain:
So, what the hell are the Super Reviewers?
Good question. It’s something I made up.
I was thinking about the Justice League (because I was thinking about how I was finally getting back into reading comics) and I was thinking about reviewing books (and how I so wanted to be a part of a review team–what? I like people) and I thought: I can make my own. So I did.
I still don’t have have all of the details ironed out. It’s still an idea that coming together more as we take into consideration what works for us, but at least I know:
- Seven of us will review the same book
- We’ll make a concise judgment (yay/nay) in no more than a paragraph
- Each book will be chosen by a member once or twice a month (depending on the
- time/availability of the members that month).
- And each book will be chosen for a specific, noted reason, whether it be a gut instinct that it will be a good read or a good reading experience with the author before.
- Then, we’ll all post the super review (which will consist of all seven reviews) to our dedicated blog. Ta-da!
So, that’s it, basically. We’ll have our first review up by next week, if everything falls into place. But you’ll know that, because I will, in no uncertain terms, alert everyone on Twitter. Speaking of Twitter, we have one: https://twitter.com/#!/SuperReviewers
We’re here to save your day. One book at a time.

Love it, Jessa! So excited for our very first super review! Now, if only I could get *my* word count down! Gonna need a Holly Special.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I love that I know some one in the super reviewer squad. Obviously, if you ever want to review anything from CQ, you get many happiness points.
