I have won none. I enter all the time. Then there are people who win multiple times.

If you’re interested in free books, and are willing to write reviews, PM me. I am always looking for people, and once you’ve been selected the first time (and follow through) our algorithm rewards you with better odds going forward!

I haven’t done too badly, though I’m not consistent about registering for them. I just had an author PM me on a new book he would like me to review, based on a book I won from him from Goodreads. I am quite excited about that, and eagerly awaiting the book in the mail. I’ve had several indie authors randomly ask me to review their books which is awesome.

I’m also Aussie, you just have to check for the books if they’ll send here or not. Some won’t.

I’m Australian and have entered heaps. You just got to read which countries the giveaway applies. Many of them include au in their giveaway. 🙂 well at least in ya and new adult and romance and historical fiction and sci-fi and fantasy. Perhaps you read other genres that are less inclusive with their giveaways…

I have won 14 in the last month and a half. But I live in America and there are a ton of events open for my area every day and I spend an hour or two entering every day. But I think it is worth it no matter where you live even if you don’t win as often because free books are still free books either way

Also the kindle giveaways are easier to win than the print

You should I think it is completely worth it

And even if you don’t win often, you still get to discover books you wouldn’t have known about otherwise

If you enter all of them for each day you will win a lot of books. I have won 42 in less than 3 months.

I’m very selective about the ones I enter to win so I don’t win very many.

I’ve been lucky enough to win a few books on Goodreads! I pretty well enter any giveaway for a book I’m interested in. The more you enter, the more you win! I think it does come down to luck though as I believe the winners are drawn randomly.

So you can enter a giveaway once a day?

1
Melly

You can only enter for the book once during the giveaway period, but you can enter for as many books as you like in one day.

Janet

Some days there are over 100 you can enter. It just takes a lot of time.

I’ve won three. I wouldn’t say they’re easy — I’ve entered a LOT, and only won the three. Depending on the number of copies available and the number of entries, your odds of winning any single book will vary but it seems usually not more than a single-digit percent chance, and often less than 1%. Of course, if you enter a few hundred times, you might win one. Keep at it and you probably will sooner or later.

I have won several. Every once in a while, I go and enter tons and tons of giveaways and just wait and see. I have heard that the more books you review, the more likely you are to win giveaways, but idk how true that it
