Sunday Replay #4 & Giveaway Hop Idea--I need your feedback!


Sunday Replay is a weekly recap of the postings on this blog. I will also be sharing other articles and newsworthy items I've found interesting. I may even showcase some pictures I've uploaded.


Stuff from the blog this week:

  • Last "official" post from The Journey of Self-Publishing with our indie author panel's Last Words. Be sure to keep your eye out tomorrow for a GIVEAWAY and the following Monday for some bonus questions.
  • Music Monday features the amazing Billy Joel this time.
  • My review of Jamie McGuire's Beautiful Disaster.
  • Cover reveal for the awesome novel The Game Changer by Marie Landry.
  • The 76th Update Thursday is posted.
  • I review Charmed Thirds, the 3rd novel in the Jessica Darling series, by Megan McCafferty.


In other news elsewhere on the internet..



And.... a new LOL cat...



~Giveaway Hop Idea--Need Feedback!~

So! I've been thinking about hosting a giveaway hop. For now, I just want to try it out once and see how many people I can get to sign up. The giveaway will just be a generic giveaway, as in, anything book related: books, gift certificates, bookmarks, swag, e-books... There would be no minimum cost for what you give away, meaning, you could even give away a 99¢ e-book. You can set up your giveaway any way you'd like--Rafflecopter, Google Docs, etc.; have requirements however you like--Free Entry, follow via GFC, or bonus entries like following on Twitter. The length would be probably one week. You can make it international or just US or US/Canada.

The above is just the gist of what I have in mind. I'll write out a complete rule list for participants once I get feedback from you guys and let you know in the next Sunday Replay when I'll be posting sign ups. I still have to sign up for Linky Tools before I can even start this.


What do you guys think? Would you be interested in participating in a giveaway hop? Would you be interested in entering giveaways in a hop? Do you have any questions? Let me know in the comments below!


Much love to all!

  1. There are so many great linked articles in this post I don't know where to click first! Thanks for the heads up. My book has stalled and I need some motivation. I like the idea of a giveaway hop, though I'm not sure if I will participate very often.

  5. I like giveaway hops. Trick is catchin' 'em in time to participate. There's always something fun to give away. Well... and having time to post 'em, too! Plan it ahead of time and I'll help promote, if you like?
