If you love books then there is a good chance you will have read one or more of the books on this list.
We are always looking out for new reviewers, so if you want to contribute a review to the blog then please leave a comment below making sure you have entered your contact email so we can send you a message directly.
Some basic rules:
- Your review must include a reasonable description of the plot so the readers of the blog can get an idea about what to expect if they choose to pick up and read the book, but please don’t fill it with spoilers.
- We would love to know exactly what it was about the book you loved, hated or felt ambivalent about, so please include that in your review. Feel free to write about the themes, motifs and any other literary aspects you found interesting, boring or irritating, we’d like to know about those too.
- Please proof-read and check your grammar before sending in the review. Turn on your spell checker if it or typing errors are a weak spot for you. We will check your review too, but it makes everyone’s life easier if you would do it first. Thanks.
- External links to relevant material are welcome, but will be checked before publishing.
- If you have a personal blog then you will be linked to from 1001 Book Reviews, and of course will be fully credited for your work.
Please bear with us, we’re new at this collaborative blogging venture, and we may have a few wrinkles to iron out initially.
Ambitious project! I look forward to following your progress.
Welcome,
Indeed it is a challenge, but we are looking forward to it. So many good books to read, and share.
I hope you enjoy the reviews.
Hi guys, this blog looks awesome! I will review Dorian Gray as you’ve already asked me and I would also love to review The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood as I got it out of the library last week!
Cheers
Hayley
Hi Hayley,
Thanks for dropping by. I’ll mark you down for The Robber Bride.
Looking forward to seeing the reviews.
Hi team, I’ve been meaning to get in touch to say I’m currently reading Possession by A S Byatt (number 183 – I think – in the 1900s section), and am happy to review it for you? I’ve also read a few of the others so could do more if you like.
Great concept
We would love to have you on board the Review Crew.
I will make Possession as possessed by you.
I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of it.
I wrote a review for The Trial by Franz Kafka. If you will contact me by email I can forward it to you for your consideration.
That is a terrific offer. I have sent an email for you.
I have a review for you finally. Can you let me know who to send it to?

Welcome.
It is turning out to be quite an adventure and we are meeting new people all the time because of it.
We would be very happy to reserve Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? for you.
The blog now has a new email address, so we can be contacted at 1001booksbeforeyoudie@gmail.com as well as by comment here.
I’ve got several past reads reviewed on my blog (athough maybe without the extent of plot summary you would like in some cases). You can check them out and see if you want to use them. Also, I’m currently reading Nicholas Nickelby and Faces in the Water, and have about 35 more on schedule this year, many from non-American/British writers, so I’m happy to share those as well. My blog is at http://bethslistlove.wordpress.com
I’ve got a review of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath I’d be happy to share with you. I am also nearing the end of six-volume epic novel that is Marcel Proust’s In Search Of Lost Time and would be happy to give you a review when I’m done!
