(SPOT.ph) Bookworms, have you ever dreamt of getting your hands on books even before they hit the shelves of your favorite stores? How about giving your unbiased, unadulterated thoughts on a book and writing a review for others to read? Well, you need not think too much about that now as Fully Booked has opened applications for their First Look Club—a group of passionate readers willing to read across genres and put their thoughts into words.
The First Look Club is a pool of readers from all walks of life who get access and write reviews about the latest books across different genres. Fully Booked will be screening potential club members through an application form. Fill in the form with the necessary details, pick out any book you have read, and write a short review of 100 words on or before August 31. Fully Booked’s resident bookworms will review all entries and choose 10 new First Look Book Club reviewers this year via their social media platforms.

Here's what to expect from being a member of the Fully Booked First Look Club:
Being part of the club isn't all fun and games: Members are assigned a book close to their genres of interest. After which, the member is given 15 days to finish the book and submit a 500 to 700-word review. The reviews will then be posted on the Fully Booked Online blog and promoted across its social media platforms to help other bookworms discover their next read. First Look Club members are required to submit six reviews in a year or one every other month.
Worrying about getting the books for yourselves? Don’t fret! Fully Booked reviewers will get six free physical Advanced Reading Copies (ARCs) or Digital Reading Copies (DRCs) of the titles assigned to them and an additional six free books or ARCs that are not required to review throughout the year. For ARCs, reviewers can claim the physical books at their chosen Fully Booked store while DRCs are sent via email. Aside from the free books, the First Look Club members also get access to exclusive perks such as opportunities to meet authors and be part of Fully Booked events.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Don’t get too ahead of yourself; remember no registration, no entry, so sign up fast.
