Welcome, friends, to our May Hop Sign Ups! I am changing things up a bit, so please take note of the stuff below, because it has changed!
This hop is a chance to link up and give away any book that releases in May of 2017!! Some info:
- Please sign up only if you can commit to giving away a new release. If you need to drop out, I totally get it, stuff happens. Just give me a quick heads up 🙂
- The Hop *officially* starts on MAY 13, and runs until MAY 31 at 11:59pm. You absolutely can post earlier, too! But I do ask that if you post very early, (i.e., earlier than the 12th) to leave the linky code out so that people aren’t hopping to blogs whose hops aren’t up yet.
- Speaking of start dates, I kind of just kept the dates from my predecessors, but I was wondering what your thoughts were on start-end dates of the hop, so please let me know!
Loading ... - I will remove links whose posts aren’t up by May 17. Again, this is to ensure that people aren’t clicking around to pages without giveaways. If you happen to forget and then remember, no problem, just email or DM me, and I will get you right back on the list! This is simply to make things easier for the entrants.
- From now on, I will be posting ALL INFO in a Google Doc on the 1st of the month. So you won’t be getting an email from me- but if you need anything, PLEASE reach out!
- Do indicate if you’ll be giving away internationally (thanks to The Book Depository, this is easy, yay!)
- E-books are fine, specific books are fine, just make sure you’re clear on what the prize is!
- Add the linky to your blog post.
- Have FUN!!
Feel free to grab the button for your sidebar or what have you. And the link to the Google Doc is right here: Google Doc
I wish I could afford to participate! Maybe in my one year blogoversary! ??
Aw that would be fun! I feel you about the money thing- it isn’t cheap for sure. There have been a few months where I was like “I should skip it….” but then I ended up doing it anyway, it’s like a compulsion at this point 😉
Oh I had a giveaway and it was awesome! I want to do more but I can’t afford it…but it was great making someone happy!
Hi ^^ I’ve decided to participate. It’s my first time joining you guys in the giveaway hop and I’m quite excited about it haha.
Oh YAY! We’re excited to have you! Thanks for joining! 😀
Thanks, Shannon! I’ll be interested to see the results of the poll. I liked the way Book Twirps did it (they were the original hosts of this hop) but I think it might be cool to start the hop at the beginning of the month. 😀
Have a great week!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Oh wow, that is wayyy before my time! I inherited it from Suze, who inherited it from Giselle hahah. So far the votes are pretty strong for the start of the month, so it looks like we may be switching iit up! I am game! I’ll just post the sign ups around the 20th- and then people can just leave their posts up all month- who knows, might even bring in some new entrants! Hope you have a great week too 😀
This is fun! Thanks for sharing, and for the awesome giveaway each month 🙂 Hope you have a fantastic week, Shannon!
Brittany @ Brittany’s Book Rambles
Aw thanks love! You too!! 😀
I obviously voted to start on the 1st, however it makes no difference to me which way it goes. It is nice for my followers to have a chance to get their entries in first and then open it up halfway through the month. This is my favourite and most popular giveaway each month and I really appreciated all of the time and effort that you put into it, Shannon! <3
Aw thank you SO MUCH! You have no idea how much that means to me ♥♥ I think the general consensus is going to be the first- so I will post a sign up on the 20th, and that way we’ll have the same amount of time- it’ll just be a little weird for this one month!
