Paperback or ebook — winner can choose either format

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

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 CONTEMPORARY CATEGORY titles.

Just a heads up about some technical issues I’m having — because, of course, technology has it out for me. 🙂 This time it’s my ancient modem that is causing grief. It won’t load some websites and I know it’s the modem’s fault, not my laptop because everything works fine when I log in at my library. So, yes, that means I’ve had to trek on down to my library multiple times this week. Hopefully my internet provider will send me a newer modem and all will be well shortly. Oh — and guess what websites are among these affected (or is that effected? I always mess those two up.) Audible (gasp!) Good Reads (double gasp!) and sometimes Word Press (triple gasp) I’ve prepared posts for the first four out of the five days next week but if something doesn’t pop up on Thursday, you’re forewarned.

Oh, and sometimes I can’t comment on my blog…or even get the page to appear, but that seems to have righted itself towards the end of the week. But, just in case, if I don’t respond to comments as quickly as before, or if new comments don’t get approved promptly, this is the reason. Luckily I like to walk and I love my library so it’s no great chore to hike on down there to do some updates.

Just a little bit of housekeeping before we get started. Some of you might have already heard about Book Depository closing. (This coming week is the last week orders can be placed.) In the past, I’ve depended on Book Depository for my giveaways, especially for international winners, so I’m scrambling to find alternatives. Right now I have Canada and the US covered but am still searching for viable alternatives for the UK, Australia and Europe.

So, from now on, check in the ‘giveaway opportunity’ section (in blue right beneath my review in each blog.) I already list what editions are available in red, but that will get more detailed as some books won’t be available in some areas. I’m trying to get creative, but bear with me and read the fine print.

For example: for some unknown reason ebooks cannot be gifted in Canada. Makes no sense, but if you don’t have an Amazon . com account, I can’t gift you with an ebook. You can, however live anywhere in the world and get a .com account — I’m Canadian and I have one for giveaway purposes. What I do for Canadians, is offer them a gift card instead so they can purchase the book themselves. Hoping I can get creative like that for other countries.

Anyway — just a not so brief explanation and head’s up to check the red print on each giveaway before entering.
