I just scored another free advance reading copy from LibraryThing! This is my 4th, and I feel lucky reading some of the discussion threads in which some folks say they haven't managed to get any yet.

It seems an algorithm is used to match a potential book against the contents of users' libraries, and those who score the highest get the book. There are a few other factors, like whether you read and reviewed any previous books you received, and possibly some other things. The 4 books I've "won" so far have been a little all over the board: historical fiction, a mystery/detective/crime novel, a memoir, and the one I'm expecting now is also a memoir, but from Darfur, Sudan.

In any event, this is what I'm looking forward to now (please excuse the ugly Amazon image):

The Translator: A Tribesman's Memoir of Darfur

*waves a little flag that says: YAY!*
