Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

Ive been entering to win the giveways on here. But ive never won. Has anyone on here won a book before?

I've won two books so far. Etta A Novel (which I still haven't read) and The Siege of Macindaw.

I have also won two books.

I was notified that I won a book but it has been two weeks and I have yet to see it!

Sometimes it takes a while for the publisher to mail it. Mine both came within a week or two, but it's possible that the item was delayed.

I've won once, but then I don't participate often enough.

I'm new to this group - how do you enter and win books?

Obviously I need to click around a bit more.

Jenna, at the top of this page go to explore>authors. Scroll down, you'll see giveaways.

I've entered several times, pretty disproportionate to my wins, I think, but ah, well.

Wow - cool. I had no idea.

I've gotten 3 so far (97 more to go to reach my goal)

A Map of the Known World by Lisa Ann Sandell - Sucked
I Apologize by Bradley Booth - Sucked HARD
The Devil's Company A Novel by David Liss - Will most likely suck

I've won one so far

It's so frustrating! I would love to enter the competitions, but being from AUS no one sends giveaways over to us :( It is always CA and US

I've seen some go to AUS, you just have to wait for them to pop up.

I won my first one the other day, Naamah's Kiss by Jacquelyn Carey. It didn't say that it was the sevent title in a series though, so now I've got to go and buy the first one. LOL

I'm holding out for the other two I'm entered into, as they're both books I really want and it would save me from having to buy them. ;)

i've never entered::but i have now::so no i haven't won::but::i'm hoping to:) ::

I have received 2 and am waiting on a third.

They are on my first reads book shelf. They weren't things I would have picked up otherwise, but when I read the descriptions on the giveaways, I thought, sure I'd read that.

My husband just won a book from Richard A. Knaak the other week. He was thrilled. He's always the lucky one.

I entered a few last week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Ooh, jealousy! The first book KUSHIEL'S DART is a keeper and yearly re-read for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Plus, I'm in love with Joscelin :)

DarkHeart, I think that Namaah's Kiss is actually the first book in a new series. It's set within the same 'verse as the Kushiel books, but it focuses on a new character. The Kushiel books are very good, though (I've only read through the third one; I really need to pick the rest up!), so I'd definitely recommend reading those, too.

Thanks! I tried to find the first book when I was out shopping the other day but while they had several others in the series, they didn't have the first one (Guess I'll have to head over to Amazon). I'm looking forward to receiving Namaah's Kiss, as everyone who has read her seems to really like her.

I just put up a giveaway, if anyone wants to enter, that is...

Familiar Scars

eeeek! It's so frustrating!!! can everyone pretty please start including AUS in your giveaways :)

I thought of you when I listed it, but I'm doing it with my illistrator and she said no...sorry.

hehe that's ok! not your fault...but people seem to think we live on another planet or something :p

Hi, Eleni. Could you move this post into the Self Promotions folder? Thanks!

I've entered several giveaways myself, thinking "meh, I never win stuff, but what's the harm" and then promptly forgot all about them. Well I just got an enail today announcing that I've won my first one! I just love happy surprises... they're like little random gifts from the Universe "just because", and always seem to happen when you need a lift. :)

It looks interesting, can't wait to read it when it comes: How Sex Works Why We Look, Smell, Taste, Feel, and Act the Way We Do by Sharon Moalem.

~Peace

I've just won Evermore by Alyson Noel, but I haven't recieved it yet.
