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 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.
Now for the winner announcement for the prizes!

Congratulations to all of you! I'll be in touch today to find out how to get you your prizes.
Time to announce the next book that's been added to the review pile for 2014!
The Witch Who Cried Wolf by Sarah Mäkelä
CONGRATS! Your book has been shared, tweeted, pinned, and added to my Goodreads TBR list for this contest.
Why? Well, I got to the last page of the sample and was very depressed there was no more! I was totally into it and I'm looking forward to reading more. Well done, Sarah! There are another couple that have been chosen, just not bought or announced yet. Hey, it's my job to keep you all on your toes!
From now until day 12, that book 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.**
It's time for today's widget!

Good luck to you all!
Tomorrow, I'm gonna have a rundown of last year's winners, links to their reviews, and an awesome video for you to watch so come on back for that! If you like to win books, there's a great giveaway for two printed copies of a Young Adult Sci-Fi novel going on over on the IBGW blog. Oh, and it's international :)
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
Jo
Good Morning!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to skip the fun today, but I'm ecstatic if that L. K. is me! What a great way to start the day!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
Good Morning!! It is you :)
DeleteI'm gonna send out the e-mails here shortly. Isn't it a lovely way to begin? Welcome back! So nice to see you again. Still love that dog! :P
Cat Brown Awakening (The Dark Rituals Book 1) sounds really good! I put it on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteI gotta tell you, Kimberly, a lot of these books are REALLY good. I'm gonna have a difficult time after I narrow it down to the top fifteen. :( I think I may go a little bit over my quota. hehe
DeleteHaving fun learning about some other Indie books too. I might have to start sampling myself!
ReplyDeleteThat's the spirit, Molly! Get on in there and pay it forward :) Welcome back to the madness :) hehe
DeleteHi Jo:
ReplyDeleteI am entering a second book today, The Painted Dog and Other Stories, written by me (Emily June Street) and my writing partner, Beth Deitchman.
In this collection of stories, animals guide and inspire humans struggling to balance their obligations to tradition with their desires for freedom. To protect her community from oppressive conquerors, a young mother risks everything. Unexpected love arrives for a shy girl trapped in a bleak life. A woman flees from a terrifying duty. Questions of faith send a rootless orphan on a new path. The fates of a father and daughter depend upon a dangerous secret. A bullied boy runs from a life filled with humiliation and pain. The Painted Dog and Other Stories transports the reader into two richly detailed fantasy worlds where cultures clash as lives are transformed.
Thanks!
Oooooh!! Emily, is this the very same Beth who intrigued me with her P&P spinoff? :) I do hope so. I look forward to checking out your book. Welcome back! :)
DeleteYes, it's the same Beth! We write together and edit each other's work, too.
DeleteI'm seconding that entry, if that's okay! It's a beautiful collection of fantasy stories--rich and interesting characters and worlds!
DeleteHello Jo and all her lovelies! I have a special Christmas gift for each of you.

Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI may or may not have been reading the sample last night. I may or may not say this book is pretty freaking interesting so far. Who knows? ;) Welcome back, Chicka! Good luck :)
DeleteWow, Jo! Thank you so much! This totally made my day! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it made your day! :) Your book snapped me right up and held on to me. Well deserved, Sarah.
DeleteHope you're having a good day Jo!
ReplyDeleteI won again...Looking forward to reading both books! :D
And still entering my one book, which I've already pitched. I'm mostly feeling like a nap today but I've gotta write the book due out on Jan 3rd, Lol. Good luck to all! ;)
I'm having a great day, C. S.! When you gotta write, you gotta write! :) And your book might have been read last night... I'm not saying one way or the other, but I can tell you I really really appreciate you pitching :) Thanks for popping back by. I hope you love the ladies of WSTW :)
DeleteEmperor's Hostages is a fantasy that includes three countries and three races of peoples. Mostly it occurs in quasi China and involves a shapeshifter with a flaw in his magic, so he's as talented at getting himself into trouble as he is at sidestepping it. His favorite form is a wren, but he occasionally takes the form of a youth. His tasks are many--recovering his own freedom after a promise backfires on him, saving a king's embarrassment over the conquering of his country, winning the freedom of the emperor's hostages, saving the lives of lovers, and more.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds COOL, Gloria. I wrote a book situated on that continent so I'm really looking forward to checking out your sample :) Thanks for the pitch and welcome to the blog!!
DeleteHey Jo, I must say I like how you're keeping us all on our toes. You seem to be having a ball doing it too, heck why not? Well just stopped by to check in. I'll be looking forward to future posts.
ReplyDeleteI am, Peprah! Know what I love most about all this? I get to read great books and pay it forward to Indies like myself looking for a break in the world. :) Thanks for stopping back by :)
