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!
Congrats to last month’s winner, Cali from Romania! Cali chose Middlegame by Seanan McGuire (a fantastic choice!)
And that’s it! Without further ado, here are the books I read and reviewed in June. I had sort of a mixed month, with review ratings all over the place:
The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind by Jackson Ford
The Girl in Red by Christina Henry
Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey
Silver in the Wood by Emily Tesh
Five Midnights by Ann Dávila Cardinal
In it to win it! I WAS going to pick Five Midnights if I was lucky, but I’ve reconsidered that now, lol. The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind was one I’d been interested in and your review has me keen!
I’d pick The Girl in Red. I also plan to read Silver in the Wood, but I’m buying that for my Kindle.

Thanks for the chance! Anxious to give Magic for Liars a shot, been reading some good reviews (haha!) that got me interested
“Which review book would you pick? Or tell me your favorite book from June.” I would probably pick “Magic For Liars”!
If I had to pick, I would chose “The Girl Who Could Move S**t with Her Mind” because I have “Magic for Liars” already on hold at my library – which I need to pick up soon!
This is so kind of you! I’m dying to read Recursion I’ve heard great things!
The Girl In Read. I saw the moving book cover on Twitter and then was hooked on wanting to read it.
There are so many great books to choose from this month! HOWEVER, after reading your review, I really want to read Recursion. I want to read several of the others, as well, but Recursion tops my list. Thank you for so many great reviews. I’m so glad you’re doing this again.

I would pick “Recursion” by Blake Crouch – I’ve been wanting to get my hands on that one
Taking a quick break this afternoon, so thought I’d stop by to say hi! I won, I’d asked my girlfriend which ever novels she wanted lol Got her the Binti trilogy last month, and she is now in love Nnedi Okorafor, and reading sf/f for the first time ever.

I am kind of curious about Recursion so I would pick it. 🙂 My favorite in June was Death in Kew Gardens by Jennifer Ashley! 🙂
I’m not sure which book I’d pick. Right now I’m torn between Recursion and The Girl Who Could Move S**t with Her Mind. I’m sure I’ll figure it out, thanks for the excellent dilemma.
I’m not sure, maybe Recursion because I have seen so many raves about Blake Crouch’s books but have yet to read one of his books myself.
They all sound intriguing (and more to add to my tbr pile, lol). I think I would pick a Magic for Liars, sounds like it’s right up my alley!

I still want to read The Girl in Red! Thanks for the chance 🙂
Unraveling sounds intriguing. Thanks for the chance.
Ohh there’s some good picks up there!
Well, I already read and loved Recursion and The Girl in Red, so I think I’d pick The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind. Thanks for the chance! 🙂

I’m dying to read The Girl in Red! I’ve heard such great things about it. :3 It seems like there are a lot of Little Red Riding Hood retellings coming out lately, and I’m perfectly okay with this. xD

I’d love to have the chance to win Recursion. It’s such a cool idea with that scientific potential to make it a real thing and not just in a novel. Thanks for setting up this giveaway!
I’d love to read Recursion. I like the premise and it sounds unputdownable (is that a word?). Thanks.
Oh, I’d DEFINITELY pick The Girl in Red, by Christina Henry! I got really excited when I heard she was releasing another book!
Sounds great. Thanks for the chance. 🙂
