Katie at Legacy of a Writer has two giveaways going on! One is for Prize of my Heart by Lisa Norato (ends 3/18/12) and the other is for The Messanger by Siri Mitchell (ends 3/25/12). Both sound like very interesting historical fiction.
Historical-fiction.com is giving away two copies of El Rey: A Novel of Renaissance Iberia by Ginger Myrick.The cover isn't as interesting as the above two, but it sounds like a truly fascinating and well researched historical fiction.Ends March 22, 2012
Kara at My Thoughts and Reviews has a whole bunch of neat books she's giving away to one fortunate person. She's going to draw a name tomorrow, Friday March 15th, so hurry on over.
Anne at Stuff & Nonsense II is giving away Dawn Comes Early by Margaret Brownley. Just about every review I read about this book says that it has great humor and makes you laugh out loud. Ends March 19th.
And now for what I think is the best giveaway of the week: Author Jamie Carie is giving away a copy of her book The Guardian Duke, a beautiful music box, and a Celtic Woman CD. Ends midnight Friday, March 16th.
Wish you all the best in these giveaways!
thanks Rina for posting my giveaway among other commendable ones this week, praying you start winning so many contests that you'll need a new bookshelf. i'll post this on my facebook page to help spread the word, blessings girl!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kara! I already need a new bookshelf but there's no where to put it! :-)
DeleteLOL!!! here's to more winnings for you girl :)
DeleteThanks for posting all of these Rina! I always wondered how people get all the books to give away. Becaue I have gotten advanced copies for review, but I have to read them first to be able to review them, and I didn't think it would be okay to give them away after I've read them? So I need to start winning contests too!!! : )
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Megan! I'm not sure exactly how some blogs can afford to be constantly giving away books, but I think that the author or publisher might donate the book if the blog has a big following. Just a guess.
DeleteI don't think there's anything wrong with giving away a review copy after you read it. It might be good to say that it's a review copy, but I don't think anyone would mind. I wouldn't. :)
You're not the only one who has pondered this, Megan, so glad you mentioned it :) I noticed LOTS of bloggers giveaway their advanced copies after reading the book, they simply point out that the book is an ARC (advanced reading copy).
DeleteYou're not allowed to sell them, but some authors encourage passing them on when you're done with them (with me they have). I only keep them for my collection when it becomes my fave book, otherwise I donate them to the library, send them to another blogger, or have a giveaway (out of the 35 reviews i've done, i've only kept 2 books so far).
thanks for bringing that up, hope this helps you :) blessings! Kara
