The other day I was mucking around in Goodreads. I know some of my friends are Goodreads site members because I see your stuff on there. I noticed the “First Reads” contest thing, where authors put up a certain number of books to give out to people to promote their books, sometimes in advance of publication. I spent a good hour going through the list and entering to win books that seemed like they might be interesting.

Last night, I got notification that I’m a First Reads winner!  I’m getting a copy of The Presidents and UFOs: A Secret History from FDR to Obama by Larry Holcombe and Stanton T. Friedman.  I’ll be sure to read it and post a review when I get it.

Part of me wants to encourage my Goodreads friends to go check out the giveaway section, and the other part doesn’t really want you to dilute my chances. I’ll listen to the better angels of my nature this time, go check it out! There’s a dropdown arrow next to the Explore link at the top of the Goodreads page, choose that and then choose Giveaways. Happy hunting!
