Guess the Indie Event!! Day 7


Welcome to the first ever Guess the Indie Event on My Secret Romance! I am super flipping excited for this! I had thought of doing something for Independent authors for some time now, but I kept finding more and more books that would occupy my thoughts for days on end, so….

So I’m hoping that if this goes well and everyone likes it, then I would LOVE to do another one, since there are soooo many amazing Indie’s out there!


Here’s how the game will go:

  • Each day a new post will go up with small snippets, lines or quotes from books by Independent authors.
  • You will have to guess which book the lines/snippets/quotes are from. Your answer will go in the rafflecopter, that way no one can copy each other.
  • Character names have been removed and replaced with XXX. If you look at the photo at the top, it shows which authors books I’m using, so that may help.
  • Every day with each post, I will be giving a kindle book or paperback book away. Some of the books were purchased by me and some were generously donated by the fabulous authors.
  • The goal of this game/event is for readers to find new indie’s to read. And what’s better than that? Sometimes a few lines from a book will seal the deal for me. Maybe it will for you too!
  • But here’s the catch- the giveaway book will not match the snippets of the post that day…because that just defeats the purpose of this game! But it will also open readers to new authors with is what I'm going for here. Maybe you'll win a book from an author you haven't read yet and fall madly in love with it....
  • The contest will run during the week only. A new winner will be picked each day but I will contact all the winners on Saturday. Seriously, I need to keep what little of my sanity I have left.
  • I will be posting this everyday so no one is confused. :)
 Yesterday's snippet belonged to The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay!!!

Here is one snippet with three quotes:

Snippet-
 
No person who has a decent relationship with both their parents could quite comprehend the disconnect that people like XXX and myself lived with. We’d imagine what our real fathers might be like, but grasping those images was like trying to hold water in a strainer. The task is frustrating, and ultimately the strainer winds up empty. 

Quotes-
  "You can't very well look your mistake in the eye and say - don't make the same mistake I did."

"We could only imagine what our real fathers might be like, but grasping those images was like trying to hold water in a strainer. The task is frustrating, and ultimately the strainer winds up empty."

"I held the little plastic test stick, which now seemed so technologically un-advanced, that I could hardly believe something so disposable was capable of delivering such life-altering information."


 

And there you go! Good luck!
