Congratulations on the win Stephanie. Do you know what books you’ll be buying with the $25? You probably have a fair few on your to-read list you wanna pick up! 😀 ❤️

Oh I do! I just don’t know what yet! There are so many I want for my collection: The Sin Eater’s Daughter and the rest of The Kiss of Deception series…so many new ones too! It’s a hard choice!

I’d say just buy them all regardless of money, but I have no self control and this is why a lot of my book hauls end up being really massive (evidence January’s book haul). Either way I’m sure whatever books you pick will be great, and you’ll probably be able to get a few with $25 as well! 🙂

Yeah I’d buy them all if I could!! I just don’t have any money coming in really: any money I make is going towards a new bookshelf! Or just a bookshelf in general since I don’t have an old one! 😂

It sounds like you’re a lot more responsible with your money than I am. I have no control, but ohh a new bookcase sounds nice as well. After all not much point buying loads of books if you haven’t got anywhere to put them.

It’s easy to be responsible with money when you have none! 😂😂😂
Oh, how I would love to have a job and buy all the books I want…though I will say it has motivated me to reach out to authors and pubs! I got my first real approval from a pub today! Dark Breaks the Dawn by Sara B, Larson, author of the Defy series, looked so good that I reached out and emailed the pub. I got an instant response! Yes! So in a way, being broke has helped a lot!

That’s great about the approval from a publisher, and I guess in a way not having the money has pushed you to find other ways to get books. You seem to get a lot of indie requests which is great, and with review copies you probably won’t need to spend too much money on books yourself will you? 🙂

Yes, it’s been nice! And then with the $25 Amazon gift card, I can get other books that I can’t get…things like that help, too. 😊
It’s been a really good learning experience.

Well, I thank you for thinking of them as rewards…I am honored every time something like this happens…I have never been a lucky girl. Just kinda random!! 😂
Everything that happens means SO much to me! It has made these months so worth it. Times have been tough for me. I don’t talk about it…it’s not my place to burden others. I hate to get all spiritual on ppl cause I don’t know how they feel, but I feel like G-d is helping me meet wonderful people and read these great books and have friends. It makes life a little brighter when you win a book that you love or a chance to buy books you love! 😊
You know what I mean?

Ohh, I don’t want to soud like some retailer, but if you’re interested in new Michelle Madow’s book, Collide, I preordered that from Amazon kindle for 0,99$ (I actually paid 1,24$ bc of my stupid goverment and their VAT), but allegedly we who preordered it or who will buy it in the first week will get the code for downloading her whole Transcend Time series, so that’s why I decided to preorder it. Plus the book sounds interesting.
I just wanted to tell you, in case you didn’t know about that bargain.
