Sharing Beyond Books #399 Comment Giveaway July 11, 2020

Hello again and Welcome to Sharing Beyond Books, SBB.
Thanks to everyone who commented last week. I hope all are getting to enjoy some summer (or winter) sun.

Five commenters can't think of any books that they were pressured to read and another three said none. Two said they wouldn't be pressured and four named books they weren't sure they would like but ended up liking.

The Winner from SBB #398 comments is #5 Miki 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. -- [11/16/19 I plan to add some review books this week and maybe some new Christmas and Love titles as soon as I locate the box I put them in. 10/5/19 I have pulled some new books and will be adding them to the list in the next week or so.

**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 #399
(One Question.)

BN100 asks: Would you pay to read an excerpt??

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 1/2 book choice or $2.50 towards 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 them.

Your turn to share. BN100 asks: Would you pay to read an excerpt??

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, July 25, 2020, at 5 PM central.

  1. Congrats, Miki!

    As a rule, I don't read excerpts, free or not, and I don't see why anyone would charge for it.

    No, I would not pay to read an excerpt. That sounds like a silly idea to me.

  7. No, I wouldn't pay to read (or listen to for audiobooks) an excerpt. Though sometimes I pick up those little booklets that have samples from several authors, usually in the same genre, at book conventions.
