GoodReads giveaway wrapped on February 28, 2010. In all, 892 readers entered for a chance at one of five free copies. Winners were selected automatically by GoodReads. The publisher can not disclose or contact the winners ( except to send them the book ), but I can announce that all five copies with personalized signatures shipped this afternoon.
Huge thanks to everyone for taking the time to enter. Please note, there will be further giveaways of The Last Track on GoodReads.com in the near future.
On a personal note, I’m very happy there is a place where readers can share their opinions about books that publishers, be they large large or small, cannot sway with the threat of offering or withholding advertising dollars. It’s really all about the readers. Related lesson to self: bring the A-game, and do so every time.
‘Cause sooner or later, the Internets will have their day in the court of opinion.
Sam,
Just thought I’d leave a note… I’m one of the five lucky winners on GoodReads.com. I just finished reading ‘Slaughter House Five'; its on my list of classics to eventually get through. I’m looking forward to starting ‘The Last Track’ tonight; it’s exciting to have a bit of communication with the author of the book you are reading. And thanks for the personalized autograph!
