Ladies, gentlemen! Brace yourselves. The end is nigh! I mean, come the first day of December, the Dedoimedo 2016 contest concludes. What is this all about, you may ask, intrigued. Well, there’s this little contest I’m running on my main website. You read my books, you rate them, and you get a chance to win a BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition Tablet, FHD model no less. Neat, right.
Gentle reminder, dear fellas! I am running an Ubuntu tablet contest, pitted against the gory chore of YOU reading my books and giving them a truthful appraisal. He who reads dares. And he who dares wins. Maybe. At the beginning of December, we will tally up all the reviews and one shall go home with an Aquaris M10 FHD tablet as a prize for doing some honest literature.
Dear readers, we have a new contest ahead of us! The format is very similar to the two previous contests that we had, the first one in 2013, which resulted in a lucky winner getting a Nexus phone, as the Ubuntu Phone was not ready yet then, and the one in 2014-2015, where I finally handed out an BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Phone to an entrepreneuring contestant. This year? The Ubuntu M10 tablet.
I am feeling benevolent. ‘Tis the holiday season, and that means free gifts for all. If you feel like reading some decent fantasy-themed prose, you might want to visit the Amazon domain in the coming two weeks. Starting December 16 all the way till New Year’s, the Kindle edition of the four books in The Lost Words series will be free for download, one after another, a couple of days at a time.
Beware geeks bearing gifts, the popular saying goes. But not when those gifts are fancy electronics gadgets, an expensive one of which you may win should you decide to continue reading this article and follow its instructions. As it happens, I’m running a contest on my main site, Dedoimedo.com. The rules are simple, read my books, write reviews and sign up for a lottery. At the end of it, there’s gonna be a draw, and the winner gets something fancy, like a tablet, a smartphone, a laptop, or a similar. Savvy?
Let us announce the happy winner of this contest. All in all, more than forty people pledged, or had their names pledged to the contest, including the participants of the original my-best-software and the subsequent limerick contests. However, only 22 of them wrote their reviews in time, before the official expiry date of Year 2013. We even had one exception, of a contestant who could not purchase the book on Amazon due to regional restrictions and whatnot, but they got their book by postal mail and subsequently wrote their opinion on Goodreads.
Some of you may remember my Ubuntu smartphone contest. It goes as follows. You read my books, either The Betrayed or The Broken or both, and you write a review, and then you become eligible for participation in the Ubuntu smartphone contest, which runs till the end of this calendar year.
Long time no hear. I will try to keep it reasonably brief. Without having informed you about this, because if you care, you would have – and have – known, that I had another giveaway organized on Goodreads. This time, I shelled out ten mint copies of The Betrayed. The results, well, let’s see.
As you most vividly recall, two weeks back or so, I conducted a giveaway on Goodreads, which allowed pretty much anyone to submit their names and enter the lottery, for a chance to win one of the ten signed copies of The Broken, the second book in The Lost Words series.
