I started my Book Review Giveaway for two reasons: one, I wanted more people to read my reviews. Most bloggers I know bemoan the fact that even though book reviews are the main reason they blog, readers gravitate towards more “exciting” posts like memes, lists, giveaways, and discussions. Two, I wanted to put one of the books I’ve read each month in the hands of someone who’s really excited to read it. I stopped doing it because I just needed a break. Well, the break is over! Here’s how my giveaway works:
- Each month around the 15th, I’ll post the giveaway, featuring all the books I reviewed the previous month. (sort of like a wrap-up post, but with bonus content!)
- I’ll leave links to my reviews because I want you to read them if you haven’t!
- The giveaway will run for two weeks, until the end of the month, at which point I’ll randomly choose a winner.
- **Bonus: If I manage to post EIGHT reviews in a month, I will choose TWO winners! (That’s gonna be hard, my average is 6-7)
- The giveaway is INTERNATIONAL, provided The Book Depository ships to your country.
- No substitutions! If you win and you’ve already read the books, or you just don’t like the sound of any, then I suggest you don’t enter. This giveaway is pretty specific and this is one rule I’m strict with. I usually post a variety of books, both adult and YA, in lots of genres, so hopefully there will be something that interests you.
- I use Rafflecopter for my giveaways, and there are multiple ways to enter. You don’t have to have a Twitter account to participate!
And that’s it! Without further ado, here are the books I read and reviewed in May (and I read some great books last month! You can’t go wrong with any of these):
The Witch’s Kind by Louisa Morgan
Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Deception Cove by Owen Laukkanen
Her Silhouette, Drawn in Water by Vylar Kaftan
Thank you so much for the amazing giveaway – I think I’d pick Middlegame 🙂
“Which review book would you pick? Or tell me your favorite book from May.” I’m intrigued by the theme of “Snakeskins,” so I’d pick that!
Hmmmm, I think I’d go with your 5 star read, The Witch’s Kind. I just purchased my own copy of Aurora Rising. Otherwise that would have been a close second. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!

I would pick Middlegame by Seanan McGuire.
Thank you!
I’d choose The Witches Kind – Thanks for offering this giveaway!
These all sound awesome. I’m torn between The Witches Kind and Aurora Rising. I’ve heard great things about both. Thanks for another great giveaway!
I am curious about The Witches Kind. 🙂
I’m not positive which book I’d pick but Deception Cove looks really interesting. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d go with The Witch’s Kind. (Loved Middlegame, but I already have a copy!)
I liked your review of Deception Cove…I’d pick that one.
Aurora Rising or The Witch’s Kind both are on my wish list. My favorite book for May was Hell Divers V. I love that series!

I think I’d pick Middlegame! I’ve heard nothing but raves for it. I loved The Witch’s Kind, though, such a wonderful book!
Jordan Rose recently posted…Summer Reading Recommendations Pt. 2: Graphic Novels, Comics, & Manga!
My pick would be The Witch’s Kind! 🙂
Based on your reviews it would be hard to choose because they are always really good. Seanan Mcguire has been on my radar so I’d choose Middlegame.
I would love to read The Witch’s Kind. Thank you
I would choose Aurora Rising! I’ve been meaning to read their other series, but haven’t had a chance yet! I’ll get there one day… haha.

I’ve loved your reviews of each of these, Tammy! I think I’d finally like to try Seanan McGuire!
I’d go with Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff.
I don’t read YA too often, but Aurora Rising is calling me. Or Snakeskins.

Such a great idea to do each month. I’d pick Aurora Rising if I had the chance.
I would love Aurora Rising. Anything that is even remotely Firefly-ish is on my list to read.
What a great idea for a giveaway! Good luck to everyone who enters.
Great giveaway Tammy. Aurora Rising has definitely been calling my name 😀
I think I would pick Aurora Rising. Thanks for the giveaway, it’s such a great idea to base it on the books you’ve read for the month.
I like Middle Game. Thanks for the opportunity.
Like Nancy before me I would select Middle Game !
These books all sound appealing. If forced to choose I’d say The Witches Kind.
I’ve been hearing great things about Aurora Rising, would love to check it out :):):) thank you so much for this opportunity.
I would pick The Witch’s Kind! But only because I already have a copy of Aurora Rising 😀
I think I’d pick Middlegame.
I’d pick Snakeskins by Tim Major… I’m so curious to read it!
Thank you for a generous giveaway!! I would definitely pick Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff.
Tammy this is awesome, and I hope that it helps increase views & comments on your reviews because I love your reviews so much!
