LibraryThing Giveaway
LibraryThing is a website for maintaining your own professional-quality online book catalog. Similar to Goodreads, LibraryThing has its own independent personality, without mega-corporate influence. LibraryThing also connects people with similar reading tastes, recommends books based on your catalog and ratings, showcases local events, hosts groups and discussion boards, features book giveaways, and more. I'm going to focus on LibraryThing Member Giveaways. These giveaways allow members (authors, publishers, and agents) to list books (paper, ebook, or audio book) for free giveaways. The giver pays shipping or provides ebooks via downloads or e-mail. The giveaway winners are randomly chosen by LibraryThing, and the book giver is provided information on how to contact the winners with their free books. A feature of the giveaway allows you to ask for reviews in exchange for the free book, and although there are no guarantees reviews will be posted, it's still a helpful reminder
