I definitely contribute to that myself (I can only read about 1/4 of the books I win each year if I read nothing but books won on Goodreads), although most of my wins come from the big publishers, so I don't feel as guilty not reading those books (I'm sure I still should, but it's also sort of like sticking it to the man! in my head at least). - Katie Just Another Girl and Her Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895231437169823163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819285584629633867.post-71578085313219683372017-12-19T17:16:56.625-08:002017-12-19T17:16:56.625-08:00I never entered a GR contest until I saw your post...I never entered a GR contest until I saw your posts. I'm not the kind of person that wins contests. But I did and I won six ebooks. However, there's only two I entered for that I have considered buying since I didn't win. I don't know if it's really worth it to authors. So before I form a cohesive opinion I'd want to see some research on how giveaways help.
