I know I have read many, many reviews on books that have been written by authors that I have either never heard of or never gave a second thought about. I have won some wonderful books by some of those same authors and now the authors are on my "can't wait to see what they write next" list. I have also bought some of the books that are hosted on giveaways because they just look and sound so good.<br /><br />Smiles,<br />Cindy W.<br /><br />countrybear52[at]yahoo[dot]comCindy W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09030648905662071478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-24921715359794505222010-08-29T14:49:43.955-07:002010-08-29T14:49:43.955-07:00Great reply, Carol!Great reply, Carol!Lyn Cotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366375647118584580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-3639522031532080942010-08-28T15:00:07.744-07:002010-08-28T15:00:07.744-07:00Because it adds a tremendous amount of publicity a...Because it adds a tremendous amount of publicity and there is always the chance that the people who didn't win the contest for the book will just go ahead and buy, like I have!<br /><br />CarolNWong(at)aol(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
