Member Giveaway Wins

Saw that a few people wanna see winners I was really lucky last month and won 4 so here they are
Bruin's Wake by Chris Casey

Hell's Quest:1971 by John W. Cassell

Permanent Obscurity by Richard Perez

Dead Forever by William Campbell

Finished the first 2 working on the third now really enjoyed Hell's Quest

My recent wins include:

Selene of Alexandria by Faith L. Justice -- Very good read.

Permanent Obscurity by Richard Perez -- Not my sort of thing as it turns out, but not too bad overall.

and

Death in Amber by Dean Fetzer -- Currently reading.

Do you try to win every book that is posted in the MG program? Just wondering. I haven't checked it out lately because nothing has peaked my interest or I already have the book.

Were all the books physical books or some e-books? Were they from the author or from just a member clearing off their shelves?
See I am a very curious person...

Happy Reading!!

I'm curious, too. ;-)

I put my name in the hat for anything I think I might be remotely interested in, but so far (almost a year), I've won exactly one book. On the other hand, that book was from an LT author, who sent me a second book, so maybe that counts as two.

I think it is great that you won a book from an LT author and then they sent you another book. I have won a few books some have been from authors and others have been from their collection that they were clearing out.

I won one book in March (the only one since Member Giveaway started). I still have not received it.

I haven't one anything this month but last month I won
Vamp Camp by Wynn Wagner which I never received. I'll probably end up buying it though since it looked so interesting.
Permanent Obscurity: Or a Cautionary Tale of Two Girls and Their Misadventures with Drugs, Pornography by Richard Perez
The Prometheus Project:Trapped and The Prometheus Project:Captured by Douglas E. Richards I'm probably going to end up buying The Prometheus Project: Stranded.

I have also won Permanent Obscurity by Richard Perez.

Has anyone who won a copy of Glorious by Bernice McFadden received it yet?

This is what I absolutely hate about THE LIBRARY THING... No one responds to certains topics for fear that it will impact whether they receive/not receive books. It is a simple question, why is it so difficult to answer??????????????????

Well maybe no one else has seen the message yet. As I went and did some searching for the book using the author's name I found a few reviews for the book Glorious. If you haven't received your copy you can always send a private message to the person that is supposed to send you the book. I know I have 2 books that I never received. I messaged both persons and only one replied explaining what happened and that he is sorry for not being able to send the book. The other one has yet to respond. I am not upset that I haven't received a message back, I am a little hurt that they don't feel it is important enough to respond but I have other things in my life to worry about than not getting a response for a message.

Here is a list of books I have won through the MG program:

Twilight of the Habsburgs : the Life and Times of Emperor Francis Joseph by Alan Palmer (still have yet to read the book)
Stronger After Stroke: Your Roadmap to Recovery by Peter G. Levine (read and reviewed)
Workshop of the Second Self by Gary Wolf (read, reviewed and loved the book)
Peter Carrot-top byYolanda Jackson (read, reviewed and first book I wanted to destroy)
With Music and Justice for All: Some Southerners and Their Passions by Frye Gaillard (read, reviewed and enjoyed)
Die Struwwelliese by Cilly Schmitt-Teichmann (had someone translate it for me, reviewed it and will be giving to my sister for her kids)
Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K. Jerome (still need to read)
Act Like a Gentleman, Think Like a Woman by Maria Bustillos (read, reviewed and loved it, now I need to read the original one)
Die Smart: Consumer Reference Guide To Death and Dying by Kathleen Lane (read, reviewed and learned alot)
Sylvia, Rachel, Meredith, Anna by Robert Slentz-Kesler (read & reviewed)
zephyrs (a collection of 13 stories) by andy ray (never received)
Gray Apocalypse by James Murdoch (read, reviewed and loved it)
You Did it for me: Friendship and Kindness by Robert Hug (read, reviewed and giving to sister)
Tom Clancy's Net Force: Hidden Agendas by Tom Clancy (received, still need to read)
Devil's Food Cake by Josi S. Kilpack (never received)

Just thought I would share my list of books with everyone...

Happy Reading All!!

>10 saratoga99:,
Not everyone reads this group, even of the people who participate in Member Giveaways. I never bothered to join this group or add it to my watchlist, so I didn't see your message until the odd post on the other thread.. Glorious is the only book I ever won through Member Giveaways and, no, I did not receive it either. I highly doubt that anyone's response or lack of response has to do with receipt of books, particularly because nothing we could say here would have any impact at all on whether we receive books or not.

>9 saratoga99: - I am impressed. That is an awesome number of books. I have sent a public message and have not received a response. And you are right, there are far more important things to worry about than receiving a response to a message. Mere frustration venting in the wrong venue. Sorry.

>12 DevourerOfBooks: - Agreed...regarding what we say here having any impact at all...

13 - Thanks, I didn't realize how many I had actually won through the MG program. I have recently stopped requesting books because I have so many that I want to read plus I got tired of all the you didn't win messages. It is frustrating when they don't respond to your messages when you post them on their profiles. For the amount of books I have won I am glad to say that only one of the winners never responded to my message about never receiving their book.

I hope you two have better luck in finding out about what happened to the book you two won.

Just curious - the only book I won through MG that I haven't gotten is Naked Singularity by Victoria Alexander. Did anyone else who's reading here win this one, and did you ever receive it? There are no reviews or ratings for it, which makes me wonder if it was ever sent out. It was some time ago that I won it, and I just figured it wasn't ever going to get here.

I know I didn't win the book. Did you think to message the other members that added the book to their libraries if they received their books?

I won a copy, but the author never sent it to me. I sent her two messages letting her know that I never received the book, but she failed to respond to either message.

This is a TERRIBLE way for her to try to market her book.

Don't you hate that? I once won some book about internet marketing, but the author sent me a link to get an ebook months later. I emailed him that I did not want an ebook, I won a hard copy, but to just forget the whole thing...and then a few weeks later the hard copy comes in the mail. I sent out all the books I won once, with reviews requested, and only one person fulfilled that obligation. I guess it runs both ways! (And I, too, won Permanent Obscurity this past spring, and never received it or heard from the author).

My experience so far has been good. Since I've joined I've won about 30 books and have gotten all but two.

I think this community could probably use some advertising. I doubt most members even know it exists.

I have received and reviewed my first book, Naked Frame by Robert Burton Robinson. I have two small issues: (1) I posted the review at LT by including it in the appropriate column in my library and at Amazon.com. I can't find my Amazon posting and don't know if I posted the LT review in the correct place. (2) I experienced ambiguity when writing the review - I didn't wish to pan the book out-of-hand since it was a gift and after all I'm hardly qualified - the author writes professionally - I can barely muddle through this posting.

I'm so sorry I must have missed this notice. I don't go on Library Thing very often. Write to me at alexander@dactyl.org and tell me where to send the book.

Tori

I'm so sorry I did not get your messages about Naked Singularity. I don't go on Library Thing very often. Write to me at alexander@dactyl.org and tell me where to send the book.

Received and reviewed member giveaway, Attack in the Alleghenies by William P. Robertson.

Received and reviewed member giveaway, Pryderi's Pigs and other poems by G.R. Grove.

Have just received JournalStone's 2010 Warped Words, For Twisted Minds by Christopher Payne. Downloaded as a PDF file but was able to convert using amazon. I'm impressed by the level of service provided by amazon's kindle division.

I just received my first 'win'. I am so excited to be a part of this group, and just felt like saying, "thanks!"

First 2 wins, both this month:

Don't look before you leap by David Webb

http://www.librarything.com/work/10556586)

and

Arts and Crafts of Micronesia by Barbara Wavell

(Which also will not load
http://www.librarything.com/author/wavellbarbara)

First is read and reviewed. Awaiting the arrival of the second.

Edited to add: these are my very first wins.

Just received "The Village" by T. F. Rhoden - looking forward to reading it partly because, like the characters of the book, I live in a small village in Southeast Asia .

My first win!
Spin the Plate Short Story by Donna Anastasi. Just loaded to my kindle for blackberry (really want an actual kindle :P)

And to my surprise, I just won Murder In Sarasota: A Jake Russo Mystery by Phil Edwards yesterday. This is an e-book as well, and haven't received yet.

I'm very excited to read both!

Hello everyone,

I am still fairly new on LT (6 Month), but I thought I was very lucky so far. Last year I won Don't Go Round Tonight by Tim Weaver which I read and reviewed.
Last month I won Dirty little Angels by Chris Tusa, which I will start reading next week.

Finished and reviewed member giveaway, "The Village." I thought it was an exceptionally well-written book and hope that it gets some consideration for a book award.

Never received (removed from catalog):

Footsteps on the Livingstone Trail by Gus Karpes

Messaged author on LT as he was the one responsible for the giveaway, but he never responded.

So far I've won 6 books:
Drinkwater: A Sobering Tale about a Medieval Knight by Otto Scamfer - Received but it was just an excerpt which was disappointing. And I didn't feel I could review it based on the short amount I read.
Dirty Little Angels by Chris Tusa and From the Depths of Death in the Midst of Chaos by Edmund Alexander Sims I have just received and haven't read yet.
English Like It Is: Right, Wrong and Changing Usage by Richard Marsh and Murder in Sarasota: A Jake Russo Mystery by Phil Edwards I haven't received yet.
La Ciguapa by Anthony C. Patton I've received but it's a Kindle and I have a Sony eReader and I don't know how to convert the file so I can read it.

I won A DOG NAMED SLUGGER, my first win on LT.

#33 Dgmknzgrl
For Murder in Sorasota, you need to email Phil Edwards and ask him to send you a copy. (here's the email address: philipjedwards@gmail.com)

I won La Ciguapa too but haven't received that one. Did you have to do anything to receive it?

33.> Go here: http://calibre-ebook.com/download

Choose the correct version of Calibre to download to your computer according to which OS you are using. You can use Calibre to convert the Kindle format to ePub (which, I believe is the format Sony uses) so you can read it. Note that if the original file has digital rights management, you won't be able to convert. If this doesn't resolve the format problem, you may need to talk to the author or publisher from whom you received the file to get the correct format for your device.

Deleted due to duplication. Danged slow server...

Anyone else has read La Ciguapa yet? There's not a single review of it in all of the Internet.

This month I have also won New World Orders - a conspiracy thriller by egtalbot. I am very much looking forward to receiving the book.

I won Dirty Little Angels as an e-book and still havne't received it. When did you receive yours?....I hope I get my email about it soon. :D

I won my first Member Giveaway--Flying Fish by Vern Hobbs. I can't wait to read it.

@ girlfromshangrila I have read it but not reviewed it, I don't really know what to say about it

> 42: Oh, I thought it was me! I don't know what to say either.

It's an odd piece of writing, isn't it? I first thought it was some sort of parody, if terribly overdone. I think exaggerating an exaggeration is a really bad idea, but that's just me.

I found it really odd too. There are a couple of reviews on here now, neither of them good.

Yeah, just noticed that. Hmm. I guess I'll just try my best to be honest without sounding offensive. Can't be easy this time. :-/

#45 Wouldn't worry - just write an honest review. Not all books are great and some are in my half star, good grief! category (at least when I get around to rating).

# 40 I have won Dirty little Angels last month and received an email by Chris Tusa within a couple of days after winning it, with a link to where I can download it.

#47

ok yea i had wont it too, but didn't receive it and just searching email its not there. i probably accidentally deleted it, and it deleted itself completely. oops

I just joined Librarything yesterday and I've already won a book from Chris Tusa, "Dirty Little Angels" which I cannot wait to read. The premise sounds interesting and I am quite thoroughly happy and will definitely read and review this book, as soon as and as soon as I can. //edit: Haven't received it yet, at all. Don't know what's up with that.

Also just won a copy of Any Witch Way by Annastaysia Savage. Am a little excited about that one. So we'll see. :)

I won Gary's Adventures in Chess Country by Igor Sukhin and it arrived today. It is very inviting and I'm eager to start digging into it! My son has expressed an interest in chess, and it looks to be something we can explore together.

I can not believe that I actually won another book this month. This time I won Heirs of Mars by Joseph Robert Lewis.

#4 I don't try to win any book on MG, only the books I think sound interesting and which I would like to read.

I have been very lucky so far, because I have won 4 books on MG since October last year and 1 book on ER (which I have not received yet).

I have just joined LT about 3 weeks ago and I'm so excited to say I have so far won 4 books within the last couple of days. Can't wait to start reading them.

Summoning by Debi Faulkner (which I just received and will start reading )
Crossroads Road: A Novel by Jeff Kay (which I'm waiting to receive to my kindle)
Priscilla the Great 2: The Kiss of Life by Sybil Nelson (Waiting to receive)
Dirty Litle Angels by Chris Tusa (waiting to receive)

Welcome, LD!

Have you read Priscilla the Great 1? It's good, and the author is giving it away to those who won the second part and haven't read the first one yet.

I've personally given away books through the Member Giveaway program in the past, but I've never managed to win books that were being offered through the Member Giveaway program. In fact, I fared a bit better with getting books from the Early Reviewers program than from MG.

Just now, I looked at the new comments on my profile page and found one from yesterday saying that I won a book from the Member Giveaway program, The Losers Club by Richard Perez.

The funny thing was that I had tried to get that book three times before, but finally won it on the fourth try. ;)

No Girl I just learned today that I had won it.

55: Oh, I see. Well, maybe you could wait until you get the email from the author and ask about Vol. 1. I might be misremembering, but I think she did state in the giveaway that she was willing to send the first part of the series to the winners of the second part. =)

56 Thanks I will ask her when I recieve her email about the book.

55 The author send me and email giving me both books to read. Just like you said she wanted me to read the first book also.

I have only been on LibraryThing for about a month and, so far, I have won 4 books.

Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle. A pretty decent kid's book
Rise of the Raven which, I liked quite a lot despite some problems with the writing
Legacy which I am reading right now and, so far, I'm really enjoying it
Miya Black, Pirate Princess although I haven't got a link for this one yet.

All of these have been ebooks which is fine because i can read them on my computer (I don't own a kindle or any of those devices). I only request books that I think I might enjoy.

@58: Great! I haven't read the second yet (I'm downloading it just now), but the first one was pretty decent. Enjoy. =)

@59: Wow. Isn't that great! But hey, you can download Kindle for PC from Amazon.com, so you can get all the free-for-kindle books they have up on their site. I really like the format, and it's quick and easy to get.

If you would like more info on that, feel free to send me a private message.

Disclaimer: I was NOT given any sort of compensation from Kindle for the advertising above. ;-)

I just finishing winning

Take the Monkeys and Run by Karen Cantwell

I have won 2 books so far:

Dirty Little Angels by Chris Tusa --- I loved it. I just wish the story was longer!

I just won, Still Live With a Brass Pole by Craig Machen (sic)....I will be reading this soon and put up a review..

I only signed up to Member Giveaways in April and I have just won three books from the May batch! They are:
Legacy Book One of the Balancer Chronicles by Chris Adonn
The Undying Apathy Of Imogen Shroud by Ben White
Vestal Virgin by Suzanne Tyrpak

I also found a link to a free e-book on another group page so now have Vampires Rule by K. C. Blake to read.
Looks like I'm going to be busy! I must say I am not really a fan of e-books and find real paper and ink much more enjoyable, but this is certainly a good way to try out books I may not have otherwise known about. Hopefully I will get used to reading from my mobile/PDA too!

Formerly published with the title "Ticket to Berlin", Coach from Warsaw by Irene Magers is a rags-to-riches historical romance that is difficult to surrender until entirely complete. The well-rounded characters paint settings that are imbibed with colour, sound and a feel for the era - which is set at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries. It will take you from the homes of German nobility to the trenches of war. Magers' talent for blending the values of love and home with settings of violence and need will leave you reaching out for the second book in the trilogy.

I won, received, read and reviewed The Mullah's Storm by Thomas W. Young ( I see a sequel is on June's list!--Hope I win it! LOL) A riveting book.

I won but have not received a copy of Noble.

And today, I received, The Eighty Dollar Champion, the first two chapters of which are so touching.

Since my last post I've won.

It's about time I post some books to give back.

Ghoststains, I'm so sorry you never got it! I sent Knight Errant in PDF on December 10th and the email didn't bounce. May I send it again?

Maybe it went into my spam folder. It would great if you sent it again. I'll make sure check both folders just in case this time. :)

Sent! Let me know if/when you receive it, please. :)

The Spanish Helmet by Greg Scowen

This is the first book that I've requested through MG and I look forward to reading it.

I just won Denubus Ar by Chris Turner. It's my 4th MG win in two months, plus two LTER wins. How lucky is that?!

Touchstone not working, sorry.

I'm back with another win! I can't believe I've now won Grave Situation by Canadian author, Alex MacLean. I'd better push those MG and ER books up higher in the TBR pile. Thank you LT! ;^D

Artemis Rising by Cheri Lasota back on August 14, and
The First Day of the Rest of My Life by Cathy Lamb

Five Dances with Death: Dance One by Austin Briggs

I tend to read one MG win, followed by another in my TBR pile, then a ER win, TBR pile, than back to MG win. I'm hopeful that one of my MG wins will be a 4-5 Star book one of these days.....now back to reading!

I have won Five Dances with Death: Dance One by Austin Briggs, which is great news because nothing in ER twigged my interest for October.

I won Finding Fiona by Emily Ann Ward today.

I received Montfort by Katherine Ashe yesterday and started to read it right away. It promises to be a very good read, if lengthy. I won all four volumes of the series. Ms. Ashe is prompt as well I was informed Nov. 3 that the i had won the book and am still waiting for a sept Early Reader and a subsequent member giveaway.

Awarded a e-copy of The Shoemakers Son today!

I just won The Legend of Lady MacLaoch by Becky Banks from MG today.

I won a copy of Practice Cake by Dalya Moon.

An embarrasment of riches! After winning two early this month, I just got an additional 2! Memoirs of an Antihero by Drew Blank and Three the Hard Way by Matthew Iden.

After all the time MG has been around and no wins, I've won two books in a few days. I was beginning to think the LT MG dice didn't like me.*G*

The New Death and others by James Hutchings and Aesop Revisited by Ethan Russell Erway

I won My Clockwork Muse by D.R. Erikson. This is the first time I have won a book. I received a very prompt message from library thing informing that I won a copy but I have received nothing since. I also can't figure out how to contact the author who was giving away the e-book. I wonder if that will hurt my chances of future wins since I losing hope of receiving the e-book and hence cannot review it. Anyone know?

Sometimes it takes the author a little while to contact you. I won an ebook the same day as you and just a couple of minutes ago received it. It does not hurt your chances of winning future Member's giveaways (It only hurts your chances of winning an Early Reviewers giveaway if you do not review the book that you have won from an Early Reviewers giveaway). Also you can contact the author at their profile page and they should get back to you.

I won a copy of Treaty Violation by Anthony C. Patton.

I got an e-book of A Storm Hits Valparaiso by David Gaughran.

I just was notified that I won a copy of:
Cure Your Democracy: The Infection, Spread and Treatment of Contagious Opinions by John Cooker
When I read the description and laughed, I knew I had to request it. It is sad that what is said in the description is true but it ought to be a fun read either way. This is going to be good, I can just tell and I am so happy to have won this book.

I just got the good news that I won The Persian Gambit by Eugene Bull !!!

Wow! The Persian Gambit arrived in today's mail, only a few days after I won it ... impressive! (especially considering I have not yet received either my Dec or Jan ER wins yet)

I just won BEFORE SHE DIES by Mary Burton :)

Just got a copy of A Smudge of Gray by Jonathan Sturak. Putting it on my nook tonight!

The Storm is Coming: an Anthology arrived via e-mail this weekend. And Brambleman by Jonathan Grant, also an e-book.

I just recieved my first MG book Replenish the Earth by Philip Michael Bulman. I'm excited about reading it!!

Lots of e-books, and joy, 4 physical books waiting in the mail for me today! Can't wait to dive into them!

They are Chain Gang Elementary by Jonathan Grant, Destiny Kills by S.D. Tooley, The Slender Reed by John W. Cassell, and Driftiing on a Headwind by Jim Harlan - I started with the latter and so far I am really enjoying it!

@ jldarden- I received The Storm is Coming: an Anthology and *loved* it. Still putting my thoughts cogently for a good review. :)

I am receiving A Life Without Grace by John M. McNamara. Looking forward to reading and reviewing.

A Deceit to Die For, downloaded on 05-21. Already on my nook!

I received Dancing in the Shadows of Love by Judy Croome today!!

Still reading Out of This World.

Today I won a copy of Flame – The Animal Saver part one by Anna-Stina Johansson. YAY!
(hmm, can't seem to get the touchstones to work)

I received my copy of Flame – The Animal Saver part one ... YAY! And the touchstones are working now, but I cannot seem to add it to my library. Well, I can add it manually -- I did that but then I deleted it because by my adding it manually, it does not link to the one other copy in LT which is in another's library. Any thoughts about how I should handle adding the book to my library?

Thank you! This time when I entered it manually, it connected to the other copy in LT!! Yippeee!!

I have been very lucky with Member Giveaway. I only joined less than two months ago, and I only applied for five or six books that seemed interesting. Already, I have won 3 books! I am careful about how many I apply for, because if I am short on time I don't want to recieve too many. Why? I feel it is considerate to write a review for the books you ask for, since they are free and that is what the author or publisher is asking out of the deal.

I have only been reading the first two books I have won, and so far, I have been surprised and pleased by both of them. Here is a list of what I have won.

Vestige by {Deb Hanrahan}
Yankee Mandarin by {James Lande}
The Last Plane out of Paris: Collectors Edition by Paul Moxham

Just thought I would add that I got one of my favorite historical fictions/ action books I have yet read, and I have read quite a few, through member giveaway: Yankee Mandarin by James Lande. When I first participated in the giveaway, I assumed the books would be fair at best, things that weren't likely to sell because they weren't that good. But the first books I have won and been reading are top of the line.

I actually got a book last month! I got The Saeshell Book of Time: Part 1: The Death of Innocents by Rusty Biesele

Just got it and haven't gotten to start it yet but am very excited! I love to read so this is great!

I have recently been awarded e-copies of Dark Passage: a paranormal thriller and Adopted Son by Dominic Peloso. Looking forward to both.

I've just got The Franciscan by James Rollo as an e-book. I'm really exciteted and I'm looking forward to start reading it. But I'm still waiting for my Kindle Paperwhite 3G before I can start the reading.

Over the past month have gotten e-copies of Permanent Damage by Michael Montoure, More Bedtime stories for the apocalypse by Joel Arnold , and Greek Fire by G. Penn.

Beastly Beautiful

When the Siren Calls

Fifty Shades Of Sparkling Vampires

Catholic Guilt and the Joy of Hating Men

The Ultimate Inferior Beings

I have won a bunch of books on the giveaways as well as through the early reviewers list. I review every book I receive from either group. I'm not sure if that helps your chances of winning, but it sure doesn't seem to hurt. I also am very sure to tell the truth in my reviews even if it isn't good news. It is wonderful when an author takes the time to contact you after the review to clarify something or simply to say thank you.

Just got a e-copy of The Collected Bartleby and James Adventures.

Living Half Free
When the Siren Calls
How to cook up a disaster
The Problem is YOU: How to Get Out of Your Own Way and Conquer Self Defeating Behavior

Just (2/15) awarded a e-copy of From the Angry to the Sublime by Earl T. Roske.

edit: Received and downloaded today (Sat 2/16).

I didn't know on here we could send private messages to the author to find out what happened to book wins. Sorry to hear that you didn't get your books in the past. So far, I only had one book that never came to me and didn't know I could do anything about it. I only contacted the owner of this site but got the normal response.

Whee! I've just won my first member giveaway - I got An Unexpected Parody: The Unauthorized Spoof of The Hobbit Movie!

For some odd reason my "requested" page also lists something called The Never King which 1) I can't remember requesting 2) isn't even listed on the request page (even though it says I've requested them from the same batch). Huh? All I can think of is that maybe all the member giveaways are from the same "batch" and I've requested this one ages ago? NVM that's exactly what it seems to be.

nerwende,
did you get your copy? I won it as well, but haven't received it yet

Nope

I have never received my copy of Beastly Beautiful yet.
