Hashtags allow new readers to find you on Twitter. A great way to promote your book is to include hashtags that already have a following on Twitter, in your tweets.
How exactly does that work?
You simply append the hashtag to the end of your tweet when it’s relevant.
Here is a list of hashtags that are already popular among the reading community on Twitter, with examples on how you can use each one.
#FridayReads
Readers tweet what they’ll be reading in the upcoming weekend.
How you can use it:
Looking for a good book to read this weekend? Try [insert title]. #FridayReads
#FreeBook
#FreeDownload
#Kindlefreebies
#Freebies
All 3 are good for days when you are running a free promotion.
How you can use it:
My book, [insert title] is free today and tomorrow. Grab a copy while you can. #freebook #Kindlefreebies #Freedownload #Freebies
#Giveaway
#BookGiveaway
A great hashtag if you are running a giveaway.
How you can use it:
I am giving away 10 copies of my highly accliamed novel. Enter to win. #bookgiveaway
#Beachread
#Mustread
These 2 are especially useful as we head into Summer.
How you can use it:
Looking for a great #beachread? [Insert title] is the perfect escape for your weekend of sun.

I haven't tried them yet, but I'm going to, particularly as I've dropped the price of one of my kindle titles to $0,99 until the end of April. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A40ZUWE/?tag
Thank you! I never use hashtags correctly, or at least not to their full potential. I get a wee bit lazy. I'm going to make a list of these to keep nearby when I tweet.
Thanks for some great advice. I always wondered how to use those.
