If you write a really neat review of a book that i think a friend would enjoy, can I copy any or part of your review and the link to your blog and send it to her?
Or do I just send the link to her (in an email)?
Thanks for throwing some light on this topic.

From what I understand, you can copy and paste as long as you link or give credit. I always link to the original article. I email things to people all of the time with Shareaholic. It does all of the linking for you.

Bookblogs won’t let me write messages! (Don’t ask me why) so I’m thanking you here and now I’m a keen follower of your blog.
