Freebie Friday 5: Secrets Unveiled!

on





Welcome to Freebie Friday.

Today we have two fun new twists.

First, the winner will be determined by a guessing game.

I spent way more than usual on books this past few weeks. Not my fault -- so many great May releases!!

I have collected my most recent book receipts -- one from Barnes and Noble and two from my favorite independent bookstore.


To enter Freebie Friday, just guess how much I spent. Tomorrow I'll reveal the totals on these three receipts. The person who comes closest to guessing how much I spent without going over will be the winner.

What's up for grabs this week?  Click the red titles to go to the book's Goodreads page.



A Breath of Eyre by Eve Marie Mont.  I reviewed this -- click here to check that out!

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins -- is this book for you? Check out my YA Angel Book Selector.

Starters by Lissa Price.  Reviewed it here!

I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga  Reviewed it here!

I Hunt Killers and Starters are ARCs. Breath of Eyre are and Sweet Evil are finished copies. 

And YES -- this Freebie Friday is open internationally even though Marybelle won last week!!! To accommodate the time differences, I'll close to entries at 6 am EST tomorrow morning.

Only one change in rules: 

If you have a blog, or are on Twitter, or think I know where to find you, or can tell me how to find you without leaving an email addy, please just leave me a comment with your guess as to how much I spent on books in April. 

Guess in dollars AND cents, please, so we don't have a tie.

If you're worried that I might not know how to reach you if you win, please leave a comment AND leave your email in the Google Doc below

    Thanks for playing!

    If two people guess the same winning number, I'll either have two winners or ask a tiebreaker question.

    I've been gone all morning and so I'm trying to find a number that no one has picked! This is such a fun twist, Jen! Let me see...ugh! There is no way I'm going to not be right by someone else, so I'm just going to throw something out there and hopefully not duplicate anyone.

    How about $69.34?

    I don't know what book I would choose since they are all great. I will worry about deciding if I win. ;)

      No worries! I try to keep Freebie Friday stress-free.

      If two people make the same winning guess, I'll either have two winners or ask a tiebreaker question. Or both -- ask the tiebreaker question to see who picks first!
