The Review Linky
And FINALLY! The way to win one of TWO $10 Amazon or B&N Gift Cards is to read AND REVIEW your COYER reads. Every time you link a review to the review linky here, you increase your chances of winning. The giveaway is International and randomly selected. We will be monitoring links to make sure that they link directly to reviews (on blogs, Goodreads, etc.) for COYER approved books.
