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!
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.
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
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!
Thanks Kal! It definitely helps:-) I really appreciate your kinds words, you’re the sweetest:-)
