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

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

Josy 15-03-2014 04:42 PM

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

Drew. 15-03-2014 04:43 PM

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 15-03-2014 04:45 PM

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.

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

Josy 15-03-2014 04:47 PM

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

Drew. 15-03-2014 04:48 PM

Think i'll stop entering every competition possible then

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.

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

MTVN 15-03-2014 04:55 PM

Black Dagger 15-03-2014 04:56 PM

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. 15-03-2014 04:58 PM

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. 15-03-2014 05:03 PM

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