Want to win some great prizes from 49th Shelf this summer, including a gorgeous e-reader or limited editions of Canadian classics? Write a thoughtful review or comment of a book you’ve read and you’ll have the chance to do just that.

Our job here on 49th Shelf is to make it easy for you to find your next great Canadian read. We do that via expertly curated book lists, guest posts and author interviews, and more. In addition, 49th Shelf members help each other out with recommendations and reviews—and we want even more of these!

You'll see the "Community Reviews and Comments" panel just under the cover image on every title listing page on the site. It looks just like this and it's really easy to add your review or note:

You can enter as many times as you like—remember, each review equals one entry. We’ll randomly select three winners when the contest closes.

In the meantime, happy reading! Take some notes and then tell us how it was for you for your chance to win.

Good luck!

Contest closes midnight, Aug. 31, 2013.
