About Erin
Erin Balser grew up in small-town Nova Scotia and somehow ended up living in the downtown core of Toronto, where she drinks too much coffee, tells people she’s a writer, spends all her free time on the internet and writes a lot. She’ll write things for you, if you like. They’ll be nonsensical and filled with snarktastic comments, but she’ll do it for a very low price.
She’s a whore like that.
About Books in 140
Books in 140 started when Erin decided to validate her book buying addiction by writing “reviews.” Except long reviews are hard. And take time. Erin thought she’d solve this problem by writing reviews in 140 characters on twitter. The book buying validation is solved. The review writing is not.
If you want a book to be reviewed, want to submit a guest review, want to be interviewed, or just want to tell Erin how awesome she is, head over to the contact page.
If contact pages aren’t your thing, feel free to email Erin! She hearts emails.
Review Policy
I read what I want, when I want and review what I want, when I want. Books in 140 is as much meant to be a representation of my tastes and reading habits as it is a space to discover new books.






Haha, Erin this is great. If i had any extra money i’d get you to write things for me without a doubt!
LOL, Erin your Bio is fantastical, you do have a way with words
It’s always fun to discover a new crowd of booklovers. I’m following you on Twitter, when I’m not busy writing or reading. I think you might enjoy my book. Lots of literary anecdotes in it.
Love this!!! You are hilarious. Can’t wait to read more.
