A few housekeeping items:
1)There are a few May giveaway books not yet claimed. I've sent notifications, but they might have wound up in your spam folders so check that out. Or you can click on the Giveaway label in the left column of the screen and just scroll through the Saturday posts for the last few weeks. The clock is ticking since I have a month deadline on wins.
2) How I select my giveaway winners: The miracle that is random.org. Everyone is assigned a number and I let the whirligig whatsit do its thing. :-) There are no advantages/disadvantages to what time you comment, what order your comment comes in, or whether you enter through the blog or email (though i do prefer blog comments, but I totally get that sometimes blogger doesn't play nice, people have privacy issues or don't have the right online account to work.)
3) All things that are frustrating about blogger are coming to a head this summer. At the end of July it's ending its automated email subscriptions so daily emails will no longer be sent to subscribers. :-( I'm looking into alternate blogging options but I'm a techno klutz so not sure how that's going to work. I'll keep you posted. In any case, the email notifications will still go out for the next two months.
You know the drill: winners will be contacted if they left their email address in the comments, otherwise it's up to the winner to contact me at kavluvstoreadATyahooDOTca. (Please note it's ca as in Canada not com)
From time to time a winner and I do not connect so I have a one month time frame on giveaway wins. If I haven't been able to reach you within 30 days of your win, it will be forfeited. This has happened a few times now so, please, DON'T BE SHY -- CONTACT ME IF YOU DIDN'T LEAVE AN EMAIL OR IF I HAVEN'T BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN REACHING YOU!
Books will be ordered within a week of receiving your mailing address (or email address for ebooks) and I'll email you to confirm your book is on its way. Give it a full month before inquiring on the status of an order to allow for processing and shipping times.
LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK'S GIVEAWAYS:

Thank you, Kav! Congratulations and Happy Reading to the other winners!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Caryl. :-)
DeleteCongrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being stalwart cheerleaders, Jackie and fredamans.
DeleteThat stinks about blogger!! Sounds like it's going to affect a lot of bloggers such as yourself. What a pain to try to find a different platform, especially if you aren't tech savvy. I'm so sorry Kav :-(
ReplyDeleteI always check your blog just about everyday so it's not going to be a big deal for me to remember to do it manually since I do that anyway.
Congrats to the winners this week!! Thanks for all your great reviews Kav, I've added SO many books that I'll have plenty of reading material for years to come....or more accurately, you've helped keep me in books....lol!! As if I don't have enough of my own HAHA!
Yeah, I don't quite understand it all but I think I'd have to pay someone to transfer all of this blog's content into another and I don't want to loose 10 years worth of my personal reading log by giving this platform up. :-( But, this is a hobby, not a job, so paying for a website/blog doesn't make sense. I know some people follow me on Good Reads and they know that most of what I review there is up for giveaways here so they hop on over. That might be an alternative for email subscribers. I'll see if I can find out more between now and the end of the summer.
DeletePS -- since there's no such thing as too many books I say keep on adding 'em to your library and wishlists. :-)
Congratulations and pleasant reading to all! Rather like Trixi, I simply have your blog bookmarked and check it periodically. Easy to do. I am not even signed up for the email feature.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I do most of my blog reading too, though I have subscribed to a few and it's a nice feature. I guess the more blogs a person reads, the harder it is to remember to check all of them out.
DeleteCongratulations to the fortunate winners!
ReplyDeleteWell, can't have myself missing out on one of your posts. I'll follow however I have to. :)
