   LOVE the 30 second book review segment. Just the right amount of time to figure out if a book is right for me. Yes, keep doing these.

   BTW: I was there at BlogWorld when Steve Pavlina asked you that question. It was fun. I was equally excited too.

   Thanks for the recommendations. But I feel, 3 book reviews is kinda too much under 3 minutes. Maybe you could do 1 elaborate book review and talk about what you liked about it and stuff like that!..:)

   I agree with Hernanth – you seemed like you were rushing just a little too much to get it all in.

   After having done book reviews for one of my sites for a couple years now, one recommendation I have is to also include some critical elements in your reviews… let people know who the book is for, and also who it isn’t for. Not only does it help build trust in your reviews, it also helps readers more effectively decide which books they should check out.

   Last comment… I couldn’t agree more about Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development for Smart People. It is easily the most helpful personal development book that I’ve ever read. If there’s one book I think everybody in the world should own, that’s it.

   Well that, and of course my upcoming book (but I may be a little biased… so some recommendations of mine should be taken with a grain of salt!)

   I agree also that each review could be stand alone and give us a little more info about what’s inside. That said, this is a wonderful segment and I look forward to more!

   Thanks a lot for adding to my growing book wish list though. (Amazon loves me.)

   Cya!

   Hey Shama,

   Liked the idea of short book reviews. Would be great if you’d review each book in a bit more detail. And how about some books on new media marketing? Look forward to more.

   Cheers
