Happy Friday, good people of the blogosphere! We're down to the wire and have just four days left! I can't believe it all happened so quickly, can you? Christmas is just around the corner. Spread a little holiday cheer for the authors in the rundown list and go check out their books on Amazon. If you missed the master list of prizes, check out this post. Today, I'm gonna start with books on the review list for 2014 (some are from this competition, some are ones I chose for myself).

If you entered and your name doesn't appear in the above list, you forgot to do something on the Rafflecopter OR you sent me a print only book (which I cannot sample). Only those authors with three entries on the excel form made it into this list. If you only left your book pitch and link in the comments, I didn't pick it up. You gotta fill out the whole form.
Remember, every book that's pitched stays in until the end! I also don't go in order. Keeping you all guessing 'til the end is my fun time. I'll announce a new choice every day. If you're an author, be sure you're following along each day to get a new way to join me on social media (this will matter when your review goes up). You can enter a book each day if you come back and fill out the new Rafflecopter form.
Winners from yesterday:
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Congratulations! You've all won an ecopy of The Indie Author's Guide to: Building a Great Book! You're really gonna love this one!
Now it's time to announce the author added to the review list!
Sir Edric's Temple by Thaddeus White
AND
Surrender to You by C. S. Janey
I know, I just wanted to finish them both so badly! Besides, Thaddeus had a great pitch and Cassandra has been back every day entering and playing along. Congratulations to you both!
Your books have been shared: Sir Edric Surrender, tweeted: Sir Edric Surrender, pinned: Sir Edric Surrender, and added to my Goodreads TBR list for this contest.
From now until day 12, these books will be recognized with an * after the title when I do my rundown.
**Kindly remember there's no guarantee your book will be reviewed by me. You did get a purchase and I'll try my best to read it. But if I find I can't give it more than 2 stars, I won't write the review.**
On to the entry form for today...

Good morning!! And happy Friday!! I really, really need to go to Vegas! So awesome!
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the link in the first step, but it didn't go to a post. It just had a line with your website, but it wasn't linked to anything.
I have feexed eet! :) Thanks for the heads up, L. K.! You do need to go to Vegas. It kicked your name out twice yet again! :) Good to see you :)
DeleteI found your tips. Holy cow! I've got a lot of reading to do today. Some great topics listed there that I can't wait to read!
DeleteThanks! I try to make navigation and great posts easy for my visitors. Lots of great freebies there, too! :)

ReplyDeleteSounds great, Steve! Welcome to the madness :) Be sure and enter your information into the rafflecopter. Drawing all the links from the comments is a time consuming effort that almost killed me last year. :) Thanks for entering. I look forward to picking up your sample!
DeleteYAY! We got on the short list! Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on our cover!
You're so welcome! I'll be reading your sample today, ladies! Remember, all books stay in until the END (day 12). Good to see you back and thanks so much for pitching :)
DeleteYou definitely get props for organizing this before the holidays! I've been sharing the wonderful giveaways and I'm excited to see The Memory Witch on your list =) I read both Tragic and Forgotten Ones and they are both great books!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heather; it's been a lot of fun! I'm excited to READ The Memory Witch :) *giggles and claps hands* I love your work. I picked up Tragic after seeing it on your blog :) It's read, just no review written yet. I'll get there. It's good to see you :)
DeleteI like the idea of the Indie Book Review Challenge. Thanks for the link to that blog.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Molly!! I'm having a hard time choosing between your two books on the list. :P Both are soooo good thus far. I've been shocked at the level of writing I'm seeing this year. It's really blowing me away. Thanks for coming on back and leaving some blog love! :)
DeleteCongratulations on a great publicity idea, Jo.
ReplyDeleteHere is my pitch for THE BRIDGE TO CARACAS:
http://ow.ly/oaF7G
It was a piece of national history. The story had to be told.
A criminal perpetrated one of the largest and most audacious gasoline tax evasion scams in Canadian and U.S. history. He used The Peace Bridge, spanning The Niagara River, as the fulcrum of his crime, and his private Cessna to transport the fruits of that crime to a Cayman Island bank. A senior official of C.S.I.S., (Canada’s Security Intelligence Service), stated that the scam netted an amount “that makes The New York State Lottery look like a Sunday school collection.”
Hiya, Steve! Welcome back. I see you removed the comment above... Not sure why. :) Just be sure the info is in the Rafflecopter entry form above, okay? If it's not in there, I won't get it. Good luck!
DeleteJo;
DeleteWhere in the Rafflecopter do I put my info? Everything I click doesn't work.
Click the +1 by What's Missing? go to the page and come back and type your answer in the box. Then the second and third entry options will open up and tell you what to do from there. Hope that helps, Steve!
DeleteHey Jo, Happy Friday to you and the people of your blog!!! Just checking in as usual. Enjoy your day everyone!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Peprah! Happy Friday! :) Thanks for popping in and leaving some blog love :)
DeleteWhat a fantastic idea, Jo! I saw this on goodreads and had to check it out. Here's my blurb:
ReplyDeleteKevin and Natalie Hale's move to Emmettville seemed the perfect chance for a fresh start. New jobs, new opportunities and the chance to dust the troubles of the past from their boots. An idyllic small town greeted them, but setback after setback, followed by a terrible accident, throws their lives into a catastrophic tailspin, and acts as a force multiplier on Kevin's alcoholism. Natalie Hale finds herself wondering how and if, she will survive Emmettville.

And the reason WHY you should read this book? Because it's a great book of course! It will keep you guessing with every twist and turn, right through to the end.
DeleteGreat job with this, Jo! I'm following along, helping out with a post on Twitter here and there. It's been fun reading about each of your selections!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scott! Welcome back. I appreciate the support!
DeleteYay! I'm so glad you'll be reading my story - I really think you'll enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm just a reader today...and some of those books on the list also look like something I'd enjoy, so I'm putting them on my list for when I can buy them.
Looking forward to reading the Indie Author's Guide :D And also, thank you. I saw your comment on my post the day before yesterday but couldn't reply!
Howdy, C. S.! I think I'll enjoy it, too! :)
DeleteI do hope you pick up one or two. And, if you're feeling funky, drop them a review! You're gonna love TIAG. It has soooo much useful information in it!
Thanks for popping back over as a reader :)

ReplyDeleteHere's my book for the day: Salvaged.
A spunky female scuba diver investigates underwater wrecks for a living. When a dashing captain hires her to salvage a Ford Model-T sunk in the middle of a lake, the discoveries she makes and the feelings she develops threaten her past and her future.
J. S., I try very hard to keep it a useful blog, too! :) I like spunky females! Looking forward to it. Thanks for stopping back by!!
DeleteBack once more. Pitched my novel Ambience the last few days for a review. Thanks again for the contest and giveaways. Happy Holidays and New Years.
