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, Linda R., who chose The Monster of Elendhaven!
September was an awesome month for me, and I really loved just about everything I read. Here are the books up for grabs in this month’s giveaway! Click on the links to read my reviews if you haven’t yet:
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow. The nitty-gritty: A delightful adventure filled with mystery, danger, romance and a dog named Bad. Oh, and lots of Doors.
Our War by Craig DiLouie. The nitty-gritty: A powerful and realistic portrayal of a near future civil war, Our War is a harrowing, emotional and ultimately uplifting story about the nature of war.
A Song for a New Day by Sarah Pinsker. The nitty-gritty: Sarah Pinsker’s love of music shines through in this wonderful debut, where two women might just have enough moxie between them to change the world.
Ormeshadow by Priya Sharma. The nitty-gritty: A short but powerful tale of the dark emotional lives of a family, Ormeshadow is an exceptional novella with the promise of magic just around the corner.
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. The nitty-gritty: Weird, shocking, bloody and did I mention weird? Reading Gideon the Ninth was an experience.
Greener Pastures by Michael Wehunt. The nitty-gritty: Odd and unsettling, Michael Wehunt’s stories are glimpses into Twilight Zone-like worlds where horror is just another everyday occurrence.
This is such a fun idea, thanks for running this! I’ve seen so many wonderful reviews of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, and Gideon the Ninth is another one I really want to try, too. I hope October is another great reading month for you!
