I’ve always wanted to do a Challenge to help get freebies read.
- You must signup to participate in the rafflecopter and win prizes. Once you have created a signup post, you can link it below. You only need to say you are participating. You can estimate how many freebies you plan to read for the year. I figure this out by how many a month. Copy the challenge button and add #ThriftyThursday to your shares.
- Each month you can link up reviews to the monthly Thrifty Thursday review I do. There are items on the rafflecopter specific for each month. The reviews can be short and found on your blog, facebook, Goodreads or other site. See the sample information to include below.
- Once you have linked up a review on the linky, enter the info into the rafflecopter which will be repeated on each month’s post.
- If I get more than 10 linkups in a month, I will randomly pick one to select a prize from a list I send them which may include gift cards or giveaway books I have. (Open International)
- Also, I sometimes choose my freebie reading for the month with a theme. Sometimes I will do things like romance in February, spooky books in October, and holiday books in December. I have so many freebies it can help me decide which to read.
Sample information for review posts:
(You can grab either the challenge button or my usual Thrifty Thursday graphic for your posts.)
The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point).
Kindle freebie on April 5, 2019 (currently $3.99 and in Kindle Unlimited as of writing this post)
(You will want to put in the date and source where you got the book and the current pricing)

I’m in again! Great way to work on the towering pile. Thanks, Anne!
I knew I could count on you. It’s a match with these all working for COYER also. I just need to do something to keep working the freebies.
I’m joining in this year! Question though…. do Netgalley’s count?
No Netgalley ARCs do NOT count. It’s only purchases that are free. Ones that you own with no commitment for a review. Ones that are available to anyone.
A lot of my author newsletter freebies are in my BookFunnel library which doesn’t give me a date. (If I sent it to Kindle I think I can find one, but I don’t always do that right away.) I don’t even necessarily know which author’s newsletter they came from. Does “from an author newsletter in 2022” or “from my BookFunnel library” count?
Sure. I think the date shows on your contents and devices on your Amazon account.
