Good Reads

[Josy]

Not sure if anyone here is a member already of Good Reads?

https://www.goodreads.com

Anyway it's a website where you can rate the books you have read, list the ones you want to read, comment on books and they also have a massive amount of giveaways from authors (most are pretty new/unknown) and all you do is enter for each book you would like and if you are chosen they send you a copy, sometimes signed, of the book for free.

It's not a scam I have had a few books off of them.

This is brilliant, having a nosy round it now. Thanks Josy :love:

[Josy]

It really is a good chance to get some free books and it gives the newer authors a chance for publicity I suppose.

I never really expected to get anything when I first joined but I joined a while ago now and the day after that I received an email telling me I had been chosen to receive a book, I got it through the letterbox within a week :laugh:

Had a few from there now.

[Kate!]

I have favourite authors but I read that much I'm always waiting for them to bring new ones out so could do with finding a few more to get into :)

[Smithy]

Will definitely have a proper look at this when I get chance :)

thanks Josy

[BigSister]

Im always meaning to join this site but always forget. Might join next few days thanks for the reminder Josy

[Novo]

Think I'll stick to the local library, this looks a bit dodgy to say the least

[Natalie.]

I'm on goodreads, not often though. I didn't know they did this

[King Gizzard]

I imagine Novo is one of those always catching the eye of someone on the other side of the bookshelf and going all red

[Kate!]

Just signed up, and rated some books.

[Josy]

Got an email to say I won another book from here this morning

[Niamh.]

I'm joined this but I ever go on it

[MTVN]

I'm joined this but I ever go on it

That's the most terribly structured sentence I've ever seen

Could do with reading some more it seems

[Niamh.]

I find that hard to be believe Matthew :hmph:

[Josy]

:laugh:

[Josy]

I go on to rate books I have read, update my to read list and then enter some of the giveaways, only spend around a half hour each time I'm on there and always seem to win a book.

I would rather spend my time on there than fb or any of the similar sites tbh.

Yeah, one of these days I'm going to close my fb account, everytime I go on there I end up getting annoyed at peoples stupid statuses and Like this if you love your kids type s**t

[Josy]

I saw a couple having a domestic on there yesterday which ended in the guy posting 'well don't come ****ing back then ya wee gremlin' :facepalm:

Ugh yeah, people airing their dirty laundry through the internet, how completely tacky, i have a couple of those on mine as well. It's so cringeworthy

[Josy]

I got another book delivered from here this morning, looks a bit **** though.

I made one a long time ago but never used it. This thread inspired me to begin using it though

[Drew.]

I haven't read for a good month or so, time to begin again

[Josy]

Site isn't working for me right now

Goodreads is down for maintenance.

We expect to be back within minutes. Please try again soon!

[Verbal]

It was down for maintenance, working for me now try refreshing.

[Josy]

To find the book contests you just go to Explore>GiveAways and enter for the ones you want.

[Josy]

Oh yeah I got back on, still a bit glitchy though so they must still be working on some stuff.

[Drew.]

This is new to me, do many people usually apply to win the books or is there a good chance at winning some?

[Josy]

It tells you how many have applied and a lot do for some of them but I have had a few

[Drew.]

You've won some? how do you know if you've won? Do you get an email or just a random package in the post?

[Roy Mars III]

Drew wants to read
Tied with Me by Kristen Proby

Nic Dalton’s cupcake bakery is thriving. She serves both rock stars and locals alike, content with her growing business. But one adventurous night out with her best friend, Bailey, turns her life upside down. She meets a handsome stranger who makes her skin sizzle and her heart race. Their one night together is explosive and unexpected, but when he has to suddenly leave without taking her phone number, Nic resigns herself to never seeing him again.

[Josy]

You've won some? how do you know if you've won? Do you get an email or just a random package in the post?

Yeah you will get an email and it normally tells you the book will be with you within 28 days.

[Josy]

Oh and when you enter for books it automatically goes into your books you want to read list unless you uncheck it.

[Drew.]

Think i'll stop entering every competition possible then

[Josy]

This is the email you get Drew or something like it anyway

Congratulations Josy!

You are one of our First Reads lucky winners! You will soon receive a free copy of Uncovering You: The Contract (Uncovering You, #1) in the mail. Please allow a few weeks for shipping.

Don't forget to add the book to your Goodreads currently-reading shelf, and we encourage you to also add it to a "first-reads" shelf when you are done reading. Posting a review is optional, but please keep in mind that reviewing the book is in the spirit of First Reads. Publishers provide free copies to Goodreads in hopes of getting early feedback about the book. First Readers who post reviews are also more likely to win free books in the future!

[Drew.]

Will have to get my hands on a signed JK Rowling book and then flog it

[MTVN]

All the giveaway books look rubbish

[Black Dagger]

I can't even find giveaway books, I want one, I'm cheap!!

[Drew.]

This looks like a cracking read

[Josy]

Matt some are rubbish but some are pretty good they are up and coming authors give them a bloody chance :nono:

And Drew if you do win a book, go on and review it and I bet you that you will win even more.

[Drew.]

[Black Dagger]

You probably just hoard up all these new authors books and then leave them gathering dust on your bookshelf wasting all their hard work

[Glenn.]

I have so many books to read as it is but I will join this and have a poke around. Thanks Josy :love:

[Josy]

[Black Dagger]

15 Copies of that book available Lucas you have a not bad chance :laugh:
