Shameless Summer Giveaway Hop


I would like to start out with a big thank you to Jen at Red Hot Books, Brie at Romance Around the Corner & Michelle at Michelle's Book Blog for putting this wonderful hop together.

The first 2 books are paperbacks looking for homes in the US.













The above book is an eBook and is available for US and International participants.

As for entry I have a question for you to answer. I have discovered with my Galaxy tablet as it's own wi-fi hot spot I can use rafflecopter. The internet connection does not time out. I'm thinking about giving it a try. As my followers tell me if you prefer the entering as a comment or the rafflecopter or another method that you think I should try. 

Be sure to check out the other blogs participating in the hop & have a great time hopping!

  2. Rafflecopter seems like it is easier on the people entering as well as the blog owner, so it def gets my vote!

  3. Rafflecopter is the best, in my opinion. I like it because it doesn't splash people's email addys all over the place.

    Awesome giveaway!

    So how do you like your galaxy otherwise? I'm debating getting the galaxy note phone/tablet (I refuse to say phablet!)

    Thanks!

  6. I use comments, because Rafflecopter takes more time for people to enter. Thank you!

  7. As long as there is only one or two entries rafflecopter is great. But when there are so many entries I would rather just comment.

    Thanks!

  10. I like rafflecopter. I don't like leaving my email address out in the open. Plus as someone who has giveaways it's extremely easy to get a winner, it does all the work for you.

  12. Rafflecopter is alot faster. But it tends to make people skim the page to get to the rafflecopter, so they don't really read.

  26. I prefer the rafflecopter myself, except with people have ridiculous amounts of things they want you to like to earn 1 entry.

  27. I like the rafflecopter. With those your email remains private. Plus the extra entries help you get more followers I think.

  29. I am fine either way. Unfortunately I can't use rafflecopter when I am using my iphone. But as a blogger, I would imagine rafflecopter is easier.

  30. I find leaving a comment is easier. Most times Rafflecopter is long & it is very difficult to usr on my iphone (which is the way I enter blog hops since my children use the computer). There are ways to set up a comment section where the email address is made known to the blogger, but is unpublished to the public.

  32. Rafflecopter seems to get more entries. But you need at least one entry you have made mandatory.

  35. At first I did not like the Rafflecopter, but now that I am used to it I do like it a lot. I also like the forms that open in a new window. However, there are times where the RC is frustrating in getting it to load :) Thank you for participating in the fun hop.

  36. Rafflecopter is fairly easy to use for the entrants, and I have heard from the blogger too. But either is fine with me, you make it easy to enter, one comment and done. LOL
    Thanks for the giveaway.

  41. I don't mind Rafflecopter, as long as there aren't a lot of requirements.

  42. I like rafflecopter, and here's why:
    A) Easily counts each entry
    B) entrants can tell if they have already entered
    C) easy to customize, you can add in links to follow info (link to rss, link to Facebook, twitter, etc)

    Overall, rafflecopter is easy. I use it for all my bigger giveaways. However, if I have a smaller international contest, I just use comments (that's if I don't offer extra entries)

    I suggest giving rafflecopter a try, I think you will like it :)

  52. They all work for me. I think some use a google contest form which seems to work better on some computers than Rafflecopter.

  53. I just started using Rafflecopter. I was REALLY nervous at first, and I still can't figure out certain aspects (like putting links in to the entry parts) but I do know that I find it easier to see all the entries, and as a follower of other blogs that use it I enjoy the ease of everything I need to do being in one place.

  59. For my own contests I prefer Rafflecopter especially it's its for a giveaway hop where there could be lots of entrants. But as for entering contests I dont mind leaving a comment or using rafflecopter.

    Thanks for the giveaway.
