Default 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.

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

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

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

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.
