It's been a slow month at A Reader of Fictions. I'm still behind on my book challenge and I haven't had quite as many reviews going up either, both because I'm behind and because some of my reviews are waiting to go up for Dystopian August. Look forward to that. There's going to be an epic giveaway associated with it, and that's going live in just a couple of hours.
Make sure you scroll through the whole post, or you'll miss a fabulous giveaway!

Thank you so much for the giveaway, and suggesting I should read one of your reviews! I don't like reading reviews before I read books, but sometimes I don't discover and interesting book unless I do read a review.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks for commenting! I don't generally like to force people to do so, but, well, I like it when they do and a little incentive never hurt anyone, right?
DeleteI don't read reviews for books I plan to read either. I like reading them for things I have read or have no intention of reading. Sometimes I change my mind and sometimes I just laugh at the craziness I escaped.
AHHHHH! AHHHHHHH!! I WANT IT! *puppy dog eyes*

AHHHHHHH! AHHHHHHH! You should! I hope you win....but I hope everyone wins, because otherwise it wouldn't be fair. :-p
DeleteIt's okay. *coughIknowyouhopeIwinateenybitmorethaneveryoneelsecough*
Deletehaha, I *love* your comments on the GFC and Free Entry entry-things! :oD
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about this one, thanks for the giveaway! :o)
Lol! Thanks. Sometimes I feel like a monster when ranting in the GFC one, but I hate having to pick new winners because the first ones tried to cheat. I WANT people to win!
DeleteI haven't bought a book since I got home, but I might have to with this one as it just sounds too awesome and I can't figure out if my library will get it or not. Stupid library system.
ReplyDeleteBooks usually show up in my library catalog pretty swiftly, but the actual books take a while. I am sure you'll enjoy this one. You never know, you could win a copy, but then you'd have to wait.
DeleteOR you could move to Atlanta and borrow my copy. ;)
DeleteHey now, I'm working on it! I'll probably get there eventually :P Yeah, we'll see what I decide as far as getting my hands on the book.
DeleteHaha, I mean, obvi, I want you to find employment. I just want that employment to be here. ;)
DeleteMe too, actually. I'm still in the running for the Roswell job I applied to ages ago so I'm hoping something may come of that one way or another soon.
DeleteOoooh! *crosses fingers*
DeleteI'm rooting for you, whatever that's worth!
Thank you for the chance to win! :)
