Sharing Beyond Books #343 Comment Giveaway May 5, 2018

Hello again and Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books, SBB!

My work is still very crazy; so little time for anything else except reading of course!

Thanks to everyone who commented last week.
Eight of us would speak to the parents of a troubled teen - everyone agreed to speak out of the hearing of the teen. Three would most likely not speak to the parents; two indicated "it depends" and one said they would speak "only if asked".

The Winner from SBB #342 comments is: #12 Marjorie who can make a GC choice if international or book choice from the Updated (**Finally!) ARC/Review titles or (recently updated) Love and Christmas titles - all linked near the end of the post.

**NOTE: I did post an Updated ARC and Other books for Giveaways. I have to go back and list the titles -- someday.
Please let me know your choice by completing the WINNER FORM.

WEEK #343

(One Question.)

bn100 asks: How do you decide which books to giveaway? Since some of you don't host giveaways maybe you could share how you decide which books to try to win. :-)

I usually have an extra of my Ladies Book Club copies so that I can offer those. I gather inexpensive books for use at Friday Book Pick and also I pick books from my own shelves. At first I selected books that I decided I would not get to read and I could get on Kindle if I wanted to. Lately I have dipped into some of my collections as I would rather share the books then have them on my shelves when I no longer am reading print books very much.

These are three of my bookshelves and there is another shelf upstairs and several boxes still.
I figure I will never get to read them all.

This shelf is in the 'basement' room; some of the boxes are collections. 
I haven't taken time to straighten it in a while.

 The top two shelves are collected books. (Note below them are VCRs we haven't gotten rid of yet.)

The top shelf has children's books. The next two are collections.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! The supply of questions is dwindling so share some if you think of any -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify.

Your turn to share. bn100 asks: How do you decide which books to giveaway? Since some of you don't host giveaways maybe you could share how you decide which books to try to win. :-)

SBB Comment Winners can choose a selection from the Updated ARC and Other books, including the "Love" and Christmas titles all in one post.

SBB Rules:
a) Must be a follower.
b) Share a comment on the question above.
Open internationally and an international winner may get a smaller book or a $5.00 GC if I decide the mailing is too much.
I will pick a Comment winner from all comments made through Saturday May 19, 2018 at 5 PM central.
