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

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.

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