Giveaway/Contest Threads...

Now through Aug 10 there is a US-only giveaway on Goodreads for W.H. Chizmar's debut novel THEM. 

I haven't read it myself (but HAVE pre-ordered it) - early reviews are very positive about how good this is! FYI - THEM is published by Gallery Books and releases on Aug 11

Great idea for a thread! 

Another US-only Goodreads giveaway - this time for Alma Katsu's Incarnate

It's a fantastic read! A riveting, dark tale that captures the devastating impact AI and social media can have on those who fall victim to their glamour!! My spoiler-free review is here: https://www.pagesfromthemist.com/2026/05/review-incarnate.html

 Just my two cents, but...probably don't buy a house on "Blood Street". 🤣 🤣

Great giveaways. I forgot all about this thread.

Just for additional clarification, Very Fine Books' website says you also have to share on social media to "lock in your entry"

I'm not saying people shouldn't enter the giveaway, but wanted to pass that additional information along.

I skipped that and still received the verification email. If I'm selected, and later cannot collect, because I didn't share on social media, I will report back. 😀

Ditto! I hate contests that rely on social media...I'm not on any social sites.

There IS an option to "copy link" which you can then use to share ... my take on it is that "social media" can mean almost anything ... it doesn't have to mean any of the "big" platforms (Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV so my legal interpretation is worth exactly what you've paid for it 😀  )
