    Dear Editor, I was wondering if next year you could put the whole series instead of the first book. Thanks!

      I've seen some people making suggestions on some upgrades for next year, and I have a suggestion: Maybe you could pick out a various number of books, maybe 200, I don't know, and let everyone vote for a specific number of books that they would like to see in the Summer Reading Program. Would that work?

      Hey everyone :) I just wanted to inform you guys that there is a reading program in DOGONews - (and no it's not the summer reading program!) First of all, this reading program is year-round and it's called "The Advanced Reading Program." (At least that's what I call it!) Okay so first you ask to join the program by emailing the DOGONews editor. Her email address is editor@dogonews.com. She'll add you in the group of 'advanced reading' and will e-mail you when she gets new books. But before receive your AWESOME, FREE new books (just ask bibliophile, she's in the reading program too if you don't believe me :D) your parents have to sign a parental consent. When you email the editor and ask for the parental consent, she'll send you a link to the parental consent which you can print. When your mom/dad agrees to this program and signs it, you can then scan it and send it to the editor via email! It's that simple! For some of DOGONews' users who live in other countries (like nikukyu, bigmelo, maybe genius1326, etc) than the US and Canada, I just emailed the editor to ask her if you guys can be sent books too :) Hopefully you can so you can read all the free books.. but one catch - you have to review them - and not just one word like, 'cool', you have to write a pretty long (not too long) review about the book. So if you guys want to register for this amazing new program, just email the editor at editor@dogonews.com. Also, if you're joining the program, please reply to this comment :D And also.. help me spread the word! Have fun reading :D I guarantee you (been part of this program since November) this will not disappoint your crave for reading :D

        Hey everyone! So I just want to answer your questions (if there's any questions that I don't answer, you can email the Editor at editor@dogonews.com, she usually replies back..) Hullo - No, you can't write an excellent review for a book (like Wonder) and get that book for free (you can get a featured review and lots of points though for writing good reviews) The Editor gets selective books from different publishers that want to advertise their books. If you're not interested in that particular book (she gives out an email to everyone in the advanced reading club) you can say no. You have to email the editor and ask for the link to the parental consental form to have any chance of receiving the free books :) Your parents have to fill it out and they can scan it and email it to the editor at editor@dogonews.com. Good luck! Dumble123: Read my response to hullo above :)

            Wait... so does that mean you get books for free?

              Wait, one question. For example, I join the program, and review "Danger is Everywhere", and I can only get "Danger is everyone" as a prize? Wouldn't that be pretty weird, since you already read and reviewed it?

                Okay, so if you reviewed "Danger Is Everywhere" and you got "Danger is Everywhere", it does make sense. I mean, it's not like the summer reading program where you can swap books - if you went to a Barnes & Nobles and you bought a book, you can't just exchange it for another book you like :) There's a lot of advantages to this program, you get to read cool, fun new books (chances are you'll like some of the books, maybe not all) ahead of almost everyone else, and besides, you get to choose if you want to read that book or not. If you read the summary and you think the book's not for you, it's not for you. If you reviewed it and you think it's horrible, then you can dispose of it. It is pretty fair :)

              I'm also part of the advanced reviewer group in DOGOnews - I've been with it since the beginning. I have gotten some of the most popular books, some of the most anticipated reads, before anyone else and completely FREE. It's a great program and I would advise any avid readers to contact the email above^ if you are interested!!!

                      No Matter where you live, (except outside of the US) by default, it takes 6-8 weeks.

                        James Patterson Book Club is unfortunately, an "expired" book club, or not a current book club. You can't access the Book Club page without clicking on someone's James Patterson Book Club's badge who is already part of the Club and I'm not sure you can join currently.

                        Editor, I sent my consent form in three weeks ago. My account says it was never recieved. I'm worried it was lost in the mail. What should I do?

                            For next year's summer program, do you think you can put a whole series on the reading and prize list instead of just the first book? Thanks -Sgand1
