Lily's Endless Library: Always sign up for giveaways!

I just wanted to tell you guys that you should always sign up for giveaways!

Doesn't matter if 5 people or 1,000,000 people signed up. DO IT. Someone has to win. We all have the same odds. So why not try? I know you're probably thinking, "It takes up too much time." It takes 30 seconds or less. Instead of watching a cat video, you could sign up for several giveaways. And don't lose hope when you don't win immediately. I didn't win right away. It took sooo long before I actually won something. In the end, It was all worth it!

Where I find giveaways:

Goodreads- Book Giveaways. I love these. Simple 2-click process and you're entered to win. Lots of authors use this place to do their giveaways. Very popular. I have actually won 2 books on there. Sever (CG #3) by Lauren DeStefano and Doctor Who: Plague of the Cybermen by Justin Richards. Romance novels are not the only books being given away. Just take some time and scroll.

P.S. What I like to do is search my favorite authors and go on their page. On their page it will show if they are having a giveaway or not.

Boolikes- This is a fairly new site. It is very similar to Goodreads, but it's more like a social media book blogging site. They usually have a small amount of Giveaways. It's very easy to sign up. I actually won, an eBook, Incarnate by Jodi Medows yesterday! Perfect timing, I need new books to read for my huge Goodreads goal this year.

Facebook- This is the almighty glorious place for giveaways. I suggest you make a fake account, so your real Facebook won't be bombarded with all sots of promotional posts and ads. Every company you know has a Facebook and on their accounts they have promotions and giveaways. My mom and I have been so lucky to win things on there. We got nail polish my Milani, lotion/body sprays by Bath and Body Works, Things from Victoria Secret, Coupons to try food for free. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. One time she won a Mucinex blanket, its it is neon-kill-your-eyes-green. We call it the
"Snot blanket". Haha. One time I won a Dolche Gusto NesCafe coffeemaker. (Similar to a Keurig). We have been so lucky to win many things via Facebook. (Also, signup for free samples. It's always nice to have some surprises and fun in your mail.)

Author's website- Sometimes, very rarely though, authors will post secret giveaways on their website/blog. They want to reach out to their faithful fans, instead of shouting from the rooftops that they are having a giveaway. It's very sweet.

Bloggers- Many fellow bloggers do giveaways or Blog Hops. To keep their page views up on their webpages. There are times when Authors or companies give things to the blogger to make an amazing giveaway.

On receipts- You know those receipts that you throw away after you leave the store? Keep them! At the bottom or the backs there are codes for giveaways. You have to think, If everyone else throws them away like you do, then how many people are actually signing up? I struggle with this one. I keep forgetting about these giveaways.

Basically, keep your eyes peeled, and don't give up if you don't win right away. It's well worth it. And your mail becomes fun!
