What's better than a free book? Ok, there are lots of things, but on my list books are high up there. I got my first e-newsletter from GoodReads a couple of days ago and have been reading it today. You can enter to win free pre-release books from their site (I don't know if they are page proofs, but it does not look like they are. This is what they say:
Be the first to read new books! Goodreads has tons of pre-release books and reading-themed goodies available for our members. All you have to do is sign up and cross your fingers! View all pre-release books on First Reads
I was going to cut and paste what they have but it has got to be at least thirty different titles. They have a great selection for all types of tastes, books for kids, books for people with kids, non-fiction, mysteries, novels etc.
The Small Print
- If more people are interested in a book than there are copies available, we will pick the winners at our discretion. The factors that go into our algorithm are: randomness, site activity, genre of books on your shelves, current phase of the moon, and more.
- The publisher, not Goodreads, is responsible for shipment of books to winners. To list a book, the publishers have already agreed never to send you anything except the book in question.
- You are not required to review the book if you win a copy. However, we encourage you do to so, as it's the reason the publishers are giving us free books in the first place. People who review the books are also more likely to win more advance copies in the future.
- By accepting an advance copy and posting a review, you grant Goodreads and the publisher an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, and distribute your review.
