Note: Entering the give away is considered a confirmation of eligibility on behalf of the enterer in accord with these rules and any pertaining local/federal/international laws. Void where prohibited; open only to U.S. residents (and Canadian residents). The odds of winning depends on the number of entrants. Each book being promoted is mailed directly to the winner by either the publisher or the author. If a book being promoted is reviewed on this blog it was received by the publisher or the author for the purpose of reviewing the book unless otherwise noted. The majority of the books reviewed are sent to this blogger for the purpose of posting a review whether the book is liked or not. This reviewer receives no compensation for reviews posted and is under no obligation to post positive reviews. Please note that the chances of a review being posted for a book not liked is very slim as those books are typically not finished and as a result they are donated to a library or charity.
