2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

So I have had the opportunity to win a book from the publisher before it comes out to the public and I was super excited about it. so......

I plan to go through the "popular authors" section of the giveaways and put them here so everyone in our group has a chance to win a book if they want.

All you have to do is click the link to the book and on the books main page is an "enter to win" button. There are some restrictions/requirements that you need to be sure to check out before you enter and will say on the actual giveaway page.

I will try to keep up to date but if you see something that you think others might want to try for feel free to add it.

If anyone wins, please post it here too so that we can congratulate you!!!!

I updated the list Sara. Just in case you posted while I was editing. I have entered a few. I didn't know either til the other day and then this morning I got an email saying that I won a copy of . I was/am super excited about it!!!!

Since I joined GoodReads back in May 2011 and then found the giveaway section in July. I have won 3 books, it is for sure worth the time spend in there.

The GR Giveaways are awesome! My husband and I have gotten over $100 worth of free books since we joined in October. Granted some were not as we expected, but free is always good! Good luck to those who enter for free giveaways. It is definitely worth it!! I always wake up in the middle of the night now to see if I've won a free book, since they always send the email around 2 or 3 in the morning, haha.

I absolutely love this idea! This group is great, and getting better everyday!

I haven´t won any book yet, but maybe one day if I keep trying..

I won a copy of Masque of Red Death. Can't wait to get it. I have seen it on a few of your TBR lists. Hopefully it is good and recommendable to you!

Oh Joie! I'm so jealous! I wanted that book so bad, haha. Her first book Austenland is really good.

I always avoid giveaways because I think I'll never win. Maybe I'll give them a try.... haha

It is worth a try! I have won several and only two of them were a disappointment (only because the descriptions were not what the books were really about).

Hmm, interesting... *goes to giveaway page and enters every single giveaway* lol! I'm not joking though.... ;)

I would have rather won the Mega Millions ... that would have been a lot of book money LOL!

I look at the giveaways coming up and enter two to three for each day. Now I've got to start reading and reviewing!

(And you can always check which ones you've entered here.)

Jealousy. You won Wife 22? I requested that one too. Let me know how it is! It's on my list.

Alicia, I also won "Tin Soldier" a while back. I think the beginning of February?? Did you ever receive your copy? I have yet to get a hand on mine.

I'm so excited! I won , and it looks super interesting.

It's possible that I need to take a break from signing up for giveaways.

I won: (short fiction) and (the new book by Augusten Burroughs).

I love short stories, and I haven't read a Burroughs book yet, so I'm pretty excited about these two.

Congrats !!
