Book Giveaway


Happy New Year!

As I look ahead into 2013, I have some goals for the blog. I want to read and comment on more book blogs and sites. I want to read more excellent books, maybe help some new authors gain a wider platform in the book world, and I want more people to read this blog!

To generate more interest in the blog, I'm going to try a monthly free book giveaway in 2013. How great is that?

What book will be given away this month?

That's where you come in. You get to choose which book you'd like to receive! The only requirement is that the book you choose has to have been mentioned at some point on this blog.

To enter the giveaway:
1. Look through the blog and find a book that you'd like to receive.
2. Add a comment here on the blog that includes your name and the title of the book you've chosen. Note that entries will not be received through the blog's facebook page.
3. Enter by the end of the day, January 24, 2013.
        That's it!

I will number the comments and randomly pick a number with a random number generator. I will send a message to one winner and that person will have five days to respond. If they don’t respond, I’ll pick another number. Once I have a confirmed winner, I will get their shipping address via email and send them the book they've chosen!

I'm excited to see which books will be requested!

Feel free to spread the word of this free book giveaway to your friends!

You can subscribe directly to the blog here on this page. You can also "like" us on our facebook page, NOT The New York Times Book Review, even if you can't enter the giveaway contest there. Have questions? Send us an email: 2of3Rs(AT)gmail(DOT)com. Thanks for stopping by!

  5. AHA! I book that I fascinates me most is Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life, by Vimala Rogers.
    I've had low entries on giveaways on my blog and have found a short reminder post about the giveaway a day before the deadline usually gets a few more entries. People put it off and then forget.
    I, for one, am delighted to have few entries! Thanks for doing this.

  6. Anything by Gillian Flynn; just read "Gone Girl" and now I'm totally hooked. Also, I have about 10 of your books still; we should probably make a date to connect!
