FIRST BOOK WIN OF 2020 FROM GOODREADS

I just won my first book from Goodreads of 2020.  Postscript by Cecelia Ahern.  I read her first one when it came out.  I sometimes don't like reading books that have sequels that come out years later but even if I don't recall the characters I hope I'll like it.

 

I was more shocked to realize that there were only 25 copies available and 5,969 entries.

@joannecha, Thanks.  I'm always winning books. It's the only thing I win and the only thing I enter for besides gift cards.  LOL.

Does a book get physically mailed to you, or is it an e-book?

@AuntGIt's a print book.  I hardly enter for ebooks.

I used to win quite a few, now I haven't won in probably 6 months or so....I used to enter quite a bit more, now I am very selective in what I enter for, because I have so many books, if it isn't something I really really want to read, I don't enter! But good for you! Enjoy!

@CANDLEQUEEN   I go through spurts and try to curtail myself with books I really want to read since I have over 100 books on my shelves as it is.  I end up going through my physical shelves and donating/swapping since what I think I would like ends up not to be.  Are you on FB?  I belong to a swap book group that is wonderful and I have swapped a lot of books I don't end up reading and getting some ARCs and ones I really want to read.
