GAH! Alignment went wonky on some of the graphics and I can’t fix it no matter how hard I try soooo….at least the information is accurate. 🙂

Winners will be contacted if they left their email address, otherwise it’s up to the winner to contact me at kavluvstoread AT yahoo DOT ca (please note it’s ca as in Canada, not com.) From time to time a winner and I do not connect so I have a one month time frame on giveaway wins. If I haven’t been able to reach you within 30 days of your win, it will be forfeited. This has happened a few times now, so please, DON’T BE SHY — CONTACT ME IF YOU DIDN’T LEAVE AN EMAIL OR IF I HAVEN’T BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN REACHING YOU!

Interesting little email quirk: I’ve had two instances that I know of where winners with gmail accounts send emails that just — poof, vanished into cyberspace. Or, I sent them a winner email and the same thing, poof, mysteriously disappeared. Neither of us got error notifications so we thought our emails went through…only they didn’t. So, if this happens to you, please know I’m not ghosting you! I usually send my notification of win emails out the same weekend as the giveaway draw and I order or mail books within a couple of days of receiving winner contact information. Then I email you again to let you know when to expect your win. So if all that doesn’t happen in a timely fashion for you, trying emailing me again, or give me a shout out in the comment section of any current giveaway and we’ll try to figure things out.

Books will be ordered or mailed within a week of receiving your address (or email address for ebooks) and I’ll email you to confirm your book is on the way.

I’ve been reading and listening up a storm — actually have some posts scheduled right into December — but I’m also giddy excited to give some new discoveries a shout out before then (I have no self-control when it comes to books!) I mean, the whole point is to have a nice cushion of scheduled reviews so I’m not under pressure to post but sometimes, I can’t wait so….you’ll occasionally see a Sunday Review/Giveaway offering because I just can’t help myself. 🙂 Also, I’ve been mood reading a lot (another reason to spread the books throughout the months) and, well, sorry, but I’ve been on a suspense kick as you can tell from this week’s selection. I’ll try to balance things out better in the future…no promises though. Bwahahaha!

We’re winging our way through the 2023 Carol Awards Semi Finalists and this week its the Romance Category. (it’s clear to see where my reading priorities lie since I’ve read nearly all of these books!)

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK’S GIVEAWAYS:

Please read the giveaway options written in red noted under “Giveaway Opportunity” in each blog post as formats will vary. AS WILL AVAILABILITY IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS.

Paperback or ebook — winner can choose either format

Paperback — I have a new physical book on hand to give away

Gently Read Paperback — It’s the actual book I read to review

ebook — that’s the only format option available, often because it’s an indie book where a paperback copy is either unavailable or exorbitantly priced. Or when a physical edition is out of print.

Time to do the Carol Awards Countdown. This year they’ve listed the Semi-Finalists instead of just the Finalists so you’ll have seven options to choose from for this giveaway. This week will feature the HISTORICAL FICTION CATEGORY titles.
