Best Book Reviewers on Twitter

Twitter has become a new home for book reviewers, as they share recommendations,
spread links, and review books in 140-character bursts. To celebrate this
new kind of criticism, GalleyCat Reviews is building a directory of the
best book review content on Twitter.

We've collected these writers in a handy Twitter list, but after the jump, you can explore
our growing collection of reviewers--they are listed alphabetically with links to each
feed.

This is not a comprehensive list, yet. Add your favorite Twitter reviewers in the
comments section, we will update the list as readers contribute new names--a helpful
directory for publishers, publicists, readers, and writers.

In addition to this Twitter directory, GalleyCat Reviews is also sharing curated book lists
from Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations. The regular feature launched with a list
of 10 Great Books for Mother-Daughter Book Clubs.
