Good Reads

[Martin]

I have decided to only review books I read recently. I also have decided to only enter giveaways for books that look like I would buy. I doubt I have entered over 40 giveaways. For now I will stick with that, I may change my plan at some point.

Willingness and actually doing it are two different things. You've written reviews on 4% of the books you've rated. Sabrina has rated 6%. I've rated 21%. So that theory may not actually hold much water. Maybe look for a give away that has a 10% chance or better of you winning, even if it's a book you may not be interested in. If you win, read it, rate it, and review it.

Or just do what I do and enter anything that seems even remotely interesting. I can weed through about 50 giveaways in 30 minutes and come up with 20-35 that look interesting enough to enter. Most of my wins have come in the "remotely intersting" category.

I am willing to write reviews, Still nothing!

I honestly think it's your willingness to write reviews that gives you your best chance for a win.

Today I entered a ton of giveaways..... still hoping for first win!

[srboone]

I know, I just get so excited!

That's 5/7, Bree!

You read faster than me and you write these really long reviews. You will be passing me by in no time. Let you in on a little secret, I don't put my wins up till I've read them.

Yup - no more problems getting in, time to enter some giveaways!

[TJCams]

Back on no problem today - entered more giveaways too!

Now, it's over capacity--everyone's try to get on it after it was down most of the day!

[srboone]

Yay! It's back up...

[Lucian Poll]

Thanks, Squire. I'll keep writing 'em if you keep reading 'em!

[srboone]

I'm not trying to publish anything, but your blogpost was entertaining and has me looking forward to future installmetns!

Goodreads is still down for me, and so I'll use this opportunity to say thank you to Squire for the like.
