Are we all doing GR giveaways, and would it be OK for all the bloggers put a widget to the giveaways, even if they are not reviewing the particular book?

I have suggested doing GR giveaways mentioning the event, either starting or finishing during the event. I will certainly be doing one. I might do a post specifically on what to do on GR during the week, thank you, Portia.

That seems perfect! I am thinking of picking up two of them. Would the authors be willing to sends books if I contact them via Twitter? Maybe if I finish reading, I’d want to try my first author interview too! Is that OK? 🙂

This is great, I am so excited to have squeaked in! GR giveaways sound like a really good idea so I’ll set those up. Also Books and Everything have contacted me, too, which is really exciting, and a bit scary. I only sent the books off today though so I don’t know if I have an interview or not yet. 😉
Cheers

Hi Ana, sorry if this is controversial but I was wondering if the reviews have to be of authors that are taking part in comedy week? Thanks so much!
LikeLiked by 1 person
Hi, this is a fair question – yes, the reviews have to be of the participating books. If you want to review a humor book that’s not participating – how about asking the author to join? The reason this is so, is that we will be cross-promoting the event, so it’s success depends on everyone pitching in to make #ComedyBookWeek viral.
