Goodreads Giveaways

Let's talk about Goodreads giveaways....

Do you enter Goodreads giveaways? I have been entering the giveaways for a few years. I go through times of staying on top of the new listings and times of forgetting to check the page. Obviously, if you don't enter you will not win. I have learned a few tips and tricks that seem to have improved my odds of winning. 

Giveaway tips

1. Enter often..check the page regularly

• 2. Check "ending soon" first...These books will be gone when you come back later.  If you still have time also check the newly listed books. 

3.  # of books in the giveaway.... Chances are better if there are 100 books in the giveaway than if there are only 5 books.  You can still enter the ones with lower number and yes I have won a few of those.  The more you enter the better your chances of winning. 

4. Ebooks... I win a lot more ebooks than physical books. I think because usually there are 100 books in the ebook giveaway.  This is easy.  Enter your amazon kindle email and the book automatically show up if you win. If you cannot find the book make sure to check the books in your cloud but not actually uploaded to your kindle yet. 

5. Be patient... Sometimes I do not win anything for months and then sometimes, like this week, I win 3 in the same week

Have fun and good luck!
