Giveaway Clarification and Explanation and Courtesy

After looking at some of the comments made on my blog, I realized I needed to clarify something. In the two giveaways I am having, the books are being shipped out by the publisher, so when I said “I have 2 copies of the book to give away” I didn’t mean that I “own” two copies of the book but the publisher has told me I can have two winners and they ship the books out. That is why sometimes the entrants are restricted to the US and Canada or just the US. I will be making an adjustment in any future giveaways I have.

I also want to explain why I post the winners name instead of e-mail them. This first is that I am kind of lazy. I don’t want to copy and paste or re-type the e-mail. The second is I know that some people don’t want to put their e-mail out where everyone can see it. That is also why I have opened this blog up to Anonymous commenters. To make sure you get notified when I post the winners you can subscribe to receive my blog posts by e-mail. To do this, in my right column is box that says “GET BLOG UPDATES BY E-MAIL.” Inside this box is a spot to enter your e-mail address. It is that easy. Your e-mail address goes to a feed, it does not get posted. I’m not even sure I can see it, there might be a way but I don’t know what it is.

Lastly, a little bit of courtesy (well that’s what I think it is), if you win a book, please let me know (by e-mail preferably) when you get it. That’s all. Thanks and happy reading.
