I also think readers pay more attention to print book rather than ebook giveaways. <br /><br />When Solo Tu releases on May 29, I’m doing a print book giveaway on the International Christian Fiction Writers blog that’s open to international entrants (as long as Amazon will deliver to their mailing address).

I tend to borrow audiobook downloads from the library rather than ebooks or print books because I already have enough books to read, lol. :)Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-28265167003014025492018-05-16T07:54:20.092+10:002018-05-16T07:54:20.092+10:00Hi Christine, I agree, the giveaways are a great o...Hi Christine, I agree, the giveaways are a great opportunity to discover new authors and books. :)Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-63562920029397190702018-05-16T07:53:12.177+10:002018-05-16T07:53:12.177+10:00Hi Jenny, I think the Gift voucher giveaways are g...Hi Jenny, I think the Gift voucher giveaways are good because of the flexibility. You can put the gift card aside and buy later. :)Narellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665380446283721576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-60315668039347462752018-05-16T07:51:57.689+10:002018-05-16T07:51:57.689+10:00Hi Iola, Before I purchased my first Kindle I used...Hi Iola, Before I purchased my first Kindle I used to enter all the book giveaways. Now, I have a large TBR ebook pile.

So unless it's a book I really MUST have, I don't. <br /><br />I also love frequenting my library on a regular basis or borrowing from my Overdrive library for ebooks to read on my Kindle. I review for many authors so I tend to get books that way or from Netgalley. So really, I have no lack of books to read...and probably won't ever in my lifetime, lol!
