I like Facebook. I am not completely networked but had an offer.
I am writing a book about I Dream of Jeannie.
My favorite social network to connect with readers is facebook.
I would promote the first book of my series: Blind Seduction (which is FREE). The genre is paranormal romance, as the blind protagonist shares a mental link with her German shepherd, Red, but I think there needs to be a genre called “LOL, spicy romance with a paranormal twist,” as the book would fit into that slot more comfortably. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C8UB0JK
My favorite way to promote is blogger interviews. I think it makes the author more interesting to the reader. I have success with Facebook, but I don’t think it reaches the audience it used to, so I often feel I’m wasting my time.
All done and thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite social network to use to connect with readers is Facebook

I Love Bookgoodies. So many book sites charge a lot of money to advertise books. While you have paid services, you also offer free advertising and I’ve been able to combine your promos with my Facebook promos whenever I’m promoting a particular book. Selling books is so competitive, and I love it that you’re willing to help us poor struggling authors out! You are also great at responding to emails!
I entered the giveaway. Looks like some great opportunities with Book Goodies!
My favorite social network is Facebook, but I get more results from Twitter, actually.
I’m a Christian author who also writes secular fiction. I have had some success with “The Ohana” which surprised me by winning the Golden Scrolls first place award for novel of the year. Over 400 Christian women authors belong to the group and some of them are best-selling authors and popular communicators known to the Christian world. I was surprised because The Ohana is a secular novel with minimal Christian elements organic to the historical novel that follows three generations of three immigrant families, Japanese, Korean, and Irish, who meet because of a terrible crime in Hawaii. I am ready to publish another historical coming of age novel that takes place in Hawaii in 1965. It involves issues that are very difficult for Christians, abortion, homosexuality, and child molestation. However most of my stories are fact not fiction. I’ve had an unusual life and many different kinds of friends who actually experienced what I wrote. Its called Ambush Road. I wonder how my audience will react to it? I deal with it in a loving, but gritty manner. Aloha, Carole
I’d post my middle grade children’s novel, A Sliver of Sun.
My Favorite Social Media Sites Is Goodreads, Facebook And Twitter And I Would Like To Advertise Nonfiction Book.
I do most of my connections on Facebook.
I would advertise my new book, third and final installment of the Ian’s Realm Saga http://bookgoodies.com/?s=Dianne+Lynn+Gardner
I have several different books and genres I would advertise. I’d probably start with my Street Games series, which is crime fiction. I’d also advertise my dystopian series, Interchron. My page: http://bookgoodies.com/?s=L.K.Hill
My favorite social network to connect with readers on is either Facebook or Google Plus.
I’ve entered the giveaway. I also would advertise my new YA time travel novella, Time Chaser.
I’d advertise my novel Blue Hydrangeas, an Alzheimer’s love story.
http://bookgoodies.com/interview-with-author-marianne-sciucco/
I would advertise my young adult book, Culture Shock. It’s fun and keeps you reading late into the night and the next day, then calling in to work the next day.
I would love to win and buy more books to read and review!
My favorite social media sites would be: Bloggers are always great and #1, and then twitter and goodreads come in second, while Facebook pulls into third. I haven’t had much time to set up anything else, but I am going to work on it along with advancing my own site.
I would like to advertise “She Who Watches (Evil Unleashed).” It’s in the young adult genre and I will be promoting at RT15 along with cover model John Quinlan. If you get a chance, stop by and see us at Club RT.
I’d advertise my contemporary romance novel with a hint of suspense, Defining Moments http://bookgoodies.com/bargain-book-for-01232015-defining-moments-a-moments-in-time-novel-by-dori-lavelle/
I’ve come to really love Facebook. I spend most of my time over there with my readers.
I am excited to have the chance!! Thank you so much!!
My favourite social media is Twitter, Goodreads and blogs through Feedly.
I would advertise anything speculative. I love speculative fiction.
I love Twitter
I think I put wrong email to the form by accident 🙁 I love any romance book with adventure
I would advertise Rising Tide: Dark Innocence. It’s a paranormal YA romance, with a hint of mystery. http://bookgoodies.com/?s=rising+tide
My favorite social media is Facebook. I love Twitter and have waaaay more Followers there, but Facebook is a more personal level of engagement.
People complain about it a lot, but I think nothing beats Facebook. That’s where the readers seem to really hang out. Twitter is my second favorite.
I was going to push my latest book here, Rubberman’s Cage, but then I saw I’ve neglected to fill it’s entry here! SO I filled it out, but it’ll take some time to validate and be posted…. so I guess my second should be the flagship of my first series: Lifehack
http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/5376
It’s sci-fi, and is character driven. It’s still my best seller, four books later… maybe because the protagonist is a lesbian. (oh! Scandal!) Or maybe people just like that ten million zombies show up. It’s fun, there’s action, some silliness, some romance.
As for social media, despite the evil, nasty algorithms, I’m still using facebook a lot.
https://www.facebook.com/ozerobook
I never found the interview form.
I love connecting with readers on Facebook.
I’d advertize my picture book, Wally the Warm-Weather Penguin – http://bookgoodies.com/wally-the-warm-weather-penguin-by-stephanie-m-ward/
If I were to advertise, I would start with my Wayfarer series. It is a scifi series about Adara Stone who is half Wayfarer and half human. She’s an extraordinary pilot who has had issues with her captains.
As for social media – I’m building both my twitter and facebook accounts to use in marketing.
I enjoy meeting people on twitter!
@IckyTemperance
This gives me a chance to say something nice about folks when I meet them.
If you follow me on twitter, I will send a mildly amusing tweet to you in return!
Cheers!
Your pal,
~Icky.

I love Instagram…images and words! It can be professional or casual and since I’m a little of both, it works for me.
Cheers, @ash_krafton
my favorite social network is facebook
i would adveritse a great health book I read.
also..realized I might be disqualified from the beautiful gift card if I didn’t answer the question 😉 I would recommend this book.http://www.amazon.com/Popular-Vintage-Wisdom-Modern-Geek/dp/0525426817. If all girls/kids learned being a good person and having manners is the best thing, schools would be a whole different place. So I would do it in hope people recommend the book for their kids.
I dont connect with other readers online at all. I’m just here for the gift card.
btw i just dont do social media at all, not even for books. 😉 don’t take me too seriously
I connect with readers mostly on Facebook and I would advertise my urban fantasy series.
So glad I saw this giveaway!!
Facebook is definitely my favorite place for interaction with other writers.
This is the newest book in my stand alone series “What a Difference a Year Makes” that I would want to promote. http://bookgoodies.com/belonging-by-ruth-oneil/
Would love to advertise ON THE ROAD TO DEATH’S DOOR and our second book ON THE ROAD TO WHERE THE BELLS TOLL. http://bookgoodies.com/on-the-road-to-deaths-door-by-m-j-williams/ Thanks!
I love twitter. It seems like a much more personal way to connect with fellow authors and readers.
My book is a steampunk adventure, The Kraken – Part I, is the book I would advertise on BookGoodies! http://bookgoodies.com/bargain-book-for-12012014-the-kraken-part-i-by-jonas-cobos/
The one book I would advertise right now is Once Upon a Western Way: An Epic Tale of the Western Empire. This romantic fantasy isn’t selling as well as I would like so if I did put anything into advertising, this would be the one I’d choose.
http://bookgoodies.com/once-upon-a-western-way-by-marguerite-madden/
My favorite social media? Well, I’ve noticed that they go in cycles. Some weeks one will be better than another, then they’ll change up.
The book I would advertise is my book From the Crib to the World: My Journey from Abuse to Success which can be found on Amazon.com
Facebook is my favorite way to interact with readers. I hate the new changes to Facebook which mean I reach less of my readers this way though. no matter how hard I try, I can not bring myself to like Twitter much.
My books will be out later this year (and can be found by searching my author name), listed below by genre.
Non-fiction:
The 28-Day Fitness Challenge
Skinny Dreaming’s Food and Exercise Journal
Collection (fantasy):
Mermaid’s Muse: A Collection of Mermaid Stories
Urban fantasy:
Ink
I’ve enjoyed learning from this website.
So far, I’ve gotten the best engagement on Facebook, but those are all people I already know. I’ve made a few connections through blogging and on twitter, too.
I would advertise my debut novel, Going Through the Change: A Menopausal Superhero Novel
Twitter!
I would advertise my latest YA fantasy novel, Degotoga

My favorite social website for sharing books? Goodreads — and Twitter.
I would like to advertise my upcoming book series, Lana Malloy Paranormal Mysteries: Haunted Hearts, Get Out or Die, The Wedding Crasher, and Christmas Cruise. All are scheduled to be released.
What book would you advertise? What is the genre?
I’m not really sure which book I would advertise but either way the book would be fantasy/children’s fiction
Tell us in the comments what your favorite social network to connect with readers is.
I’m undecided between Goodreads and Facebook.
Didn’t see the part about social networks until hitting “send” on my last comment. My favorite social media site to connect with readers would be the one I actually did so on: Twitter. lol
I’d advertise my first novel if that were allowed. If not, I’d advertise one of my best friends’ book.
Not sure if this is the page in question, but: http://bookgoodies.com/interview-with-author-r-w-foster/
Thanks for all you do for authors and readers!
The social media that I like most is Twitter because it is quick and easy, requiring no carefully polished presentation.
I’d like to win some ad space for my book Radient Shadows (http://www.amazon.com/Radiant-Shadows-Beginnings-Parts-1-3-ebook/dp/B00I3JYSOE). It is ever so slightly related to the novel that I am now trying to find an agent for.
I like to connect with readers on Facebook at http://facebook.com/kellymcclymerbooks . I like to connect with everyone interested in history, tech, and fun things on Twitter @kellymcclymer
I would advertise my Victorian historical romance, The Fairy Tale Bride. http://bookgoodies.com/the-fairy-tale-bride-by-kelly-mcclymer/
