That's interesting! How many times a week/month do you guys review?

I've just reviewed a few books to get my activity up, but I havent really had much time to read many books recently being a first year student

I only started 3 weeks ago and I have had one book which arrived from New York very quickly.

I, on the other hand, have been a member of the site for nearly 2 years, entered when I originally joined & won 3 books in as many months, continued being active but not entering the giveaways for around a year & restarted entering in early May due to a dry spell. Despite being a member of groups, doing quizzes, posting reviews etc I haven't won a book in that time -as I said in another thread I don't think Goodreads likes me

I've had 11 wins from GoodReads in the past two months (since I started comping again).

In that time, I've done 1 book review, which was one of the books I won, so it can't be entirely based on reviews.

I did put some effort into my profile at the beginning, ticking all the genres that I enjoy reading, and going through a few authors whose books I had previously read and adding star ratings.

I visit the site every day to look at new giveaways, I don't do anything else on there (one day, when I have lots of time, I will though! :rotfl:)

Hope that helps!

I've never reviewed a single book, although I do belong to groups and regularly add books to my account, the most I do is give the books I've read a star rating and I've still had some good wins.

I joined up yesterday, entered loads of giveaways and just got a WEM to say I've won a book
First win of July, woooo!

I registered about a week ago and have just had an email informing me I have won. Woohoo!

By the sounds of it you won't be waiting long charchar

While I am on a goodreads thread, may I just ask a quick question please (sorry to hijack charchar). The email stated that the book will be dispatched soon. However, I don't remember ever supplying my address when I registered. Have I just forgot entering it, or am I supposed to contact the author and provide my details?

Many thanks

You'll have given it to them when you registered

(They ask you to confirm it everytime you enter a new competition as well)
