I'm trying to be much more diligent about reviewing those books as for the most part they are coming directly from the publisher.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-40477434727919924162013-01-15T10:30:56.572-05:002013-01-15T10:30:56.572-05:00I'll be honest Katie, I'm still trying to ...I'll be honest Katie, I'm still trying to figure out how I won so many in a short period of time last year...I don't know if it was because I had added a bunch of reviews to the site all at once and it boosted my ranking as a reviewer or if after winning one they saw I actually reviewed it and then I was more likely to win additional books -- whatever the reason, I got behind on my reviewing and I have not won another book for months. Obviously I have plenty of neglected ones, but when I see an awesome title go up (like Lauren DeStefano's Sever!) I wish so badly that my good luck will return!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03215797870829907924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3216081229982312439.post-88149257737588080392013-01-15T00:48:51.290-05:002013-01-15T00:48:51.290-05:00oh my gosh, you have got to be the luckiest person...oh my gosh, you have got to be the luckiest person i know. i have been entering TONS of those goodreads first reads and i have won....
