100 bloggers, 100 green books, 1 day

100bloggers-logo-150pxHere’s the idea. 100 bloggers, 100 books, 1 day!

100 bloggers each selected one book from the list created by Eco-Libris and we will each review our book on the same day, at the same time!

Started by Raz Godelnik of Eco-Libris, he’s put together a list of 100 books that are meeting the “green” criteria (recycled or FSC-certified paper), with preference for newer books, that are good for children and/or adults. We each picked the book we wanted to review (first come, first served basis) and they asked the publishers to send us a review copy. All Bloggers will publish simultaneously their book review on Tuesday, November 10, at exactly 1:00 PM EST.

Hope2_medI chose, “Hope and the Super Green Highway”  a children’s book by Helen Moore and Louise Rouse, published by Lollypop Publishing Ltd, UK.

We’ll ask participating bloggers and publishers to tweet these posts and use any other social network they usually use to spread the word on these reviews. We’ll provide further instructions later on about the best ways to magnify the effect of your post. As soon as the posts are published, we’ll release a post with all of the links so we can all interlink, comment and actively participate in this green lit conversation.

They’ll ask all the participating bloggers and publishers to tweet posts and use any other social networks, like LinkedIn and Facebook, to spread the word on these reviews.

As soon as the 100 posts are published, Eco-Libris will release a post with all of the blog reviewer’s links, so we can all interlink, comment and actively participate in this green lit conversation.

This is a wonderful concept, bringing attention to responsible, eco-friendly printing as well as “green” topics and having us all publish at the same time, gives this the importance it demands.
