wikiHow to Enter a Book Giveaway Raffle on Goodreads

Community Q&A

If you're a member of Goodreads, you probably didn't know that they also have raffles (to win a book) there. If you want to enter one, this article should be for you.

Steps

  1. 1
    Visit the Goodreads website and sign in with your Goodreads credentials.
  2. 2
    Access the feature. Open the drop-down list button next to the "Browse" link at the top of the page and click the "Giveaways" option near the top of the list.
  3. 3
    Read the Giveaway Terms of Use. Do this to ensure that you can use this service properly, should you be the winner. This link is located in the upper right corner of the Giveaway page.
  4. 4
    Recognize why some of these Giveaways are happening. Goodreads states, at the top of the Giveaways page, that authors will tend to give away books to select members on a random basis (as sort of a raffle).
  5. 5
    Look through the list on the left-hand side of the page, to see if any of the books appeal to you. Goodreads has several books that they have giveaways for, but for those who don't read that much from certain authors, you probably won't find much of the genre you'd like to read.
    • Although Goodreads will start you on the "Ending soon" page, they have other pages you can access by clicking the appropriate button.
  6. 6
    Look at the Giveaway dates underneath the "Enter to win" button over on the right hand side of the listing.
  7. 7
    Look for how many copies are available to be won. Oftentimes, this number will be one copy.
  8. 8
    Look at how many other people have entered that particular raffle with you.
  9. 9
    Ensure that you are within the country that the offer/raffle is available in. The country information can be found underneath the number of copies available and amount of other people entering.
    • Obviously, US is denoting the United States of America, CA is Canada, and GB is Great Britain/Northern Ireland. These are just a few of the possibilities that this raffle could be entered from. Look on the next page for the remainder of the countries.
  10. 10
    Click the "Enter to win" button, if all of these appeal to you.
  11. 11
    Choose a shipping address (if you've entered one already) or type a new shipping address into the appropriate boxes.
  12. 12
    Click the "Select this address" to select your address.
  13. 13
    Agree to the terms of use of the Goodreads Giveaway Raffles by clicking the box to the left of "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions listed on the right."
  14. 14
    Click the "enter to win" button to enter the drawing.

    Tips

    • Should you be able to obtain a copy of the book, you can have the raffle ticket automatically add the book to your "to-read" shelf, upon entering. If you don't uncheck the box, it will be added to this list.
