**JERR April 2012**
I
know, I know. Many of your are asking – What the heck is JERR? It is
amazing to me that an erotic book review site that has been around 6 or 7
years, and has a huge following is still unknown to so many. So, for
those of you who missed it, I will take a moment to explain this thing
called JERR that I speak of.
JERR
stands for Just Erotic Romance Reviews. Name pretty much says it all.
Yes? The following snippet I took directly from the website so that you
all can see JERR’s explanation:
Beyond Book Reviews
Just Erotic Romance Reviews is...
“First
and foremost a newsletter created by readers for readers just like
you. For over six years we have helped readers choose where to spend
their hard earned money, by delivering a quality newsletter straight to our readers' mailboxes the first Sunday of every month. Every issue is packed with honest reviews of some of the best Erotic Romance books around.
Contests,
articles on a wide variety of Erotic Romance topics and author
interviews are all here to entertain and provide information on the fast
growing, ever changing world of Erotic Romance.” (quoted from justeroticromancereviews.com)
That
about cover it? Not quite. Let me tell you what I like about JERR.
First, let me say that I absolutely love my blog and checking in with
the review blogs of fellow bloggers. You never know what new author you
may discover, what awesome contest may be running, what terrific
friends you may come into contact with … the possibilities are endless.
I would never give up on my blog. But here is what attracts me to JERR
…
With
blogs, you hop around and never know what you may or may not find –
unless you are searching for something specific and end up on Google,
then get directed to the information you seek. JERR has eliminated much
of this frustration. And let’s face it, sometimes looking at review
after review can be frustrating. Instead of hoping all over the place,
you receive one newsletter - once a month - with multiple reviews to
check out - in one spot. Sound good? I think so! There is generally a
spotlighted author, a contest, and dozens of reviews to read.
But
these are not just any reviews. These are reviews from people like you
and me. Some of us have our own blogs, many of us have a “real-life”
before reviewing, and all of us abide by JERR’s standard to erotic
reviews. If the book does not make the cut, you will not be hearing
about it. This is not to say that you will find all glowing reviews. No
way! But this is to confirm that you will only read reviews about
erotic novels, novellas, anthologies, etc …
So
what are you waiting for? Head over to JERR and subscribe! A
newsletter once a month packed full of reviews in one spot! What have
you got to lose?
Oh
… but now you want to know why I am telling you about this? Did you
figure it out? You got it! I am a JERR reviewer. And why would I do this
when I have my own review blog? Because JERR changes things up for me
and gives me variety. I have access to books I can review that I might
not have access to otherwise. And I have a change of pace. The reviews
are nothing like what I normally produce. Variety is good (for me
anyway) – it keeps me on my toes and staves off boredom.
And
here is the other part of why I am telling you this information. My
reviews are the property of JERR. Perfectly understandable considering I
write to their requirements and they provide me with the book I
review. But I cannot post my reviews on my blog. And so … once a month I
will be posting on my blog – in this similar fashion, the link to the
reviews I completed via JERR. Want the review faster? Subscribe to
JERR. The newsletter comes out about two weeks before the reviews are
loaded onto the website. *nods*
