Reader Survey and Giveaway 2019

By Book Goodies 623 Comments

It’s survey time! Give us your opinions and feedback in our Reader’s Survey and be entered to win a $75 Amazon Gift Card… how cool is that??? Make sure you do actually fill out the survey or all your entries will be deleted. Nobody wants that.

If this looks familiar, we did the exact same survey in 2015 and we want people to take the survey again, or for the first time, so we can compare how the answers have changed with the shifts in publishing. We are also going to restart the BookGoodies Podcast series so the question below about “what would you ask an author” will be using to craft those podcasts! Make sure you join our newsletter so you will know when we launch other giveaways – we have several planned over the next few weeks.

Be sure to click the links in the boxes to go to the survey and other pages with things for you to earn entries! Or click here if you can’t get to the link inside the survey box 🙂

  I blast late ’60s and early ’70s psychedelic music when I write. Sometimes an obscure lyric or riff will prompt me onto a “Magic Carpet Ride” and into a place unrelated to the actual content of the song — a place where imagination rules and from which I feel comfortable to create my fiction. This technique worked for me. Last week, the retired editor of Reader’s Digest posted that my SF/F novel was the best science fiction that he’s read in several years.

I enjoy music, but sometimes the TV is on or other stuff is going on. I tend to partially block out. This way I can read at different times and still get other things done like laundry or starting supper. That’s how I get more reading done.And I’d use to card to get more cozies and Amish stories.

Although there are several books that aren’t part of a series on my wish list, so maybe I would work on buying those as I prefer to read a series straight through and could use more of these types of book while I am building my series collections for reading. I don’t know, I would have to have the money before I would really be able to decide how to spend it.

I listen to some classical music to stimulate my mind. I also have my t.v. on in the background for white noise (it’s comforting somehow). Other than that, I do prefer to read in silence.

Silence while reading has never happened for me. Even now, I hear the sounds of animals calling out or children playing. That’s not noise, it’s the sound of normal lives. I’ve also had too much quiet while reading and found I can’t concentrate. So I’d really have to have some kind of background noise.
