Good Reads
 
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 19-02-2014 06:47 PM

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.

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 19-02-2014 10:37 PM

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

thanks Josy

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

Natalie. 19-02-2014 10:50 PM

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

King Gizzard 19-02-2014 10:53 PM

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! 19-02-2014 10:54 PM

Just signed up, and rated some books.

Josy 25-02-2014 09:53 AM

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

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

Could do with reading some more it seems

I find that hard to be believe Matthew :hmph:

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

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 14-03-2014 02:29 PM

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