Friday Fives - The Five Most Recent Goodreads Giveaways I've Entered

I'm taking a bit of a break from my usual Friday Linkups to try something a little different.  Michelle over at Because Reading is Better Than Real Life   used to do a Five on Fridays that I always enjoyed and I've seen a few other variations on the theme.  As well I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd give start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much.  I go through phases with the giveaways on Goodreads.  Sometimes I'm entering like it's my job and other times I go for months without even thinking about it.  I'm in an entering kind of mood and here are the most recent 5 that grabbed my attention.


1.  Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris - I was surprised to see this because it's been out for a bit.  Maybe it's about to release in paperback?  I wanted to read it when it first came out and nothing I've read about it has changed my mind.


2.  Finding Zsa Zsa: The Gabors Behind the Legend by Sam Staggs - I know nothing about this one other than who Zsa Zsa and Eva are but it sounded like it could be interesting.


3.  One Night Gone by Tara Laskowski - I feel like I've seen a review or two for this one that was good but I don't remember more than that.  The cover caught my eye and there's a mystery involving a 30 year old disappearance which I can never resist. 


4.  The Christmas Keeper by Jenn McKinlay - I love McKinlay's mysteries and enjoyed the one romance by her that I read.  This is the 2nd in a new romance series and it involves a bookstore so how could I pass that up?


5.  Ice Cold Heart by P.J. Tracy - I can't really explain this one other than I've heard of PJ Tracy and own a couple of books in this series which I've never read any of them. 

Do you enter Goodreads giveaways?

  1. I've been known to enter tons of contests in the past, but not much lately. Very cool that you're entering to win such cool books. Zsa Zsa and One Night look pretty interesting, and hope you win! Hugs...

  2. P.J. Tracy's Monkeewrenth books are very good. I love them. I knew this latest was coming out and I look forward to it.

  3. That's a nice mix of books! I've had no luck with Goodreads giveaways. I've won a few on LibraryThing though. Good luck!!

  4. I have an ARC of Sold on a Monday that I haven't read yet. I think August or September would be a great time to read it. I really want to get to it before the year is over. I also just requested The Christmas Keeper. I don't think I've read any of her books. Good lick to both of us.

  5. Nice choice, hope you have some luck. I liked Sold on a Monday. I remember the Gabors - way back on TV!! I did win once on Goodreads giveaways but very few are international.

  6. "entering like it's my job" haha. I used to sign up for tons of giveaways, if I saw em on blogs (and even occasionally Goodreads). I've been doing a lot less lately though...

  7. I hope you win these! I’ve pretty much given up on Goodreads giveaways. I’ve been on that site since 2011, but I’ve never won anything.

    Aj @ Read All The Things!

  8. The Christmas Keeper looks perfect for HoHoHoRAT and yep, Sold on a Monday has been on my wish list too.

  9. I was going to enter finding Zsa Zsa, but truth be told I don't read physical books anymore. The only Goodreads contests I enter for physicals now are for picture books and Middle Grades I can put in local Little Free Libraries. I hope you win it. It sounds super interesting. 📚

  10. I liked SOLD ON A MONDAY. ONE NIGHT GONE looks really good. I hadn't heard of it before, but I would pick it up based on the cover alone. Looks intriguing!
