Janna Grace liked an update for Bane of All Things

Hey, how’s it going! I am glad to report that the reveal of Bane of All Things’ cover last week met with widespread praise. 

So, what’s next? Garnering advance reviews and buzz to make sure this book is a success …  and there are things you can do to help with that.

First, if you are active on Goodreads.com, you can add BoAT to lists where it will gain more attention. There are literally thousands of existing lists, created by users like us.

Some of the lists that may be a fit for BoAT include:

  • Adult Sci-Fi/Fantasy of 2021
  • Best Upcoming Fantasy Debuts (2021
  • Can’t Wait Sci-Fi/Fantasy of 2021
  • Sci-Fi and Fantasy Must Reads
  • Best New Fantasy Novel
  • Fantasy Books Written for Adults
  • Fantasy Books Releasing in 2021
  • The Most Beautiful Covers of 2021
  • Anticipated Books of 2021

I could go on, but you get the idea. You can add a book to as many lists as you want.

And you can of course add BoAT to your own Want to Read list or Fantasy or Epic Fantasy Shelf. (Creating your own Shelf for a specific genre like Fantasy or Epic Fantasy and adding a book there is also key to how Goodreads’ algorithm works to help other users find the kinds of books they want to read.)

Second, there is NetGalley.com. Publishers post their upcoming titles here. You can sign up for free as a reviewer to get an advance digital copy of a book for free in exchange for an honest review. BoAT is available there now. Of course, if you have pre-ordered BoAT, you have already paid for a copy or copies that you will receive this fall.

(If you do decide to sign up at NetGalley, you may want to use the NetGalley Shelf app on your mobile device for reading versus the Send to Kindle option. The Kindle-friendly file format isn’t available yet and the current PDF has some clunky formatting issues on a Kindle. You can read it on a Kindle, but it’s not pretty.)

That’s it for now. Your continued support is so very much appreciated. It seems like only yesterday that BoAT’s release date of Nov. 16 was eight months off. Now it’s only four and change!

Stay safe and keep reading.

Cheers

Leo
