Question of the Month (and Giveaway) + Winners Announced

Happy September 1, everyone! As promised, here is the question of the month:

It's a rare thing, but there have been cases where books in the same series end in a cliffhanger and I wanted to find out what readers think of this. This question will be up until the end of the month and the giveaway will run for the same time.

For September, I'm drawing 2 winners: 1 lucky commenter will win a copy of Once Upon a Duke by Eva Devon and another lucky commenter will win a copy of Talk Sweetly to Me by Courtney Milan. Both are digital copies only, so make sure you can accept Kindle copies.

*This giveaway is via Rafflecopter and is open to International Readers.
*This giveaway will run until September 30.
*One entry per household per IP.
*Rafflecopter will select 1 winner each, total of 2 winners.

A new #wouldyourather question and Winners from the giveaway!

Thank you to everyone who joined the first "Would You Rather..." discussion -- I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the question and it's been a challenge coming up with another one, which is why I'm thinking of making this a monthly feature. I'll post a question at the start of every month and it'll always have a giveaway attached to it. ^_^

Here's one I came up with last week, and I know I should wait until September 1 to post it, but I'm too excited. It's inspired by the idea of the serialised novel. Eloisa James tried this format out when she serialised With This Kiss and released it in 2 separate instalments, one every week. I've also seen other authors release their books this way, and I have to say the cliffhangers and anticipation for the next chapter/installment are part of the fun of following a serialised novel.

I wanted to do a theme so I'm comparing it to novels in a series. There are authors who release books close to each other: the books in Grace Burrowes's Captive Hearts trilogy were released July, August and September 2014 -- and there are authors who only release one book a year, and then there are authors whose release dates for books in the same series are very far apart from each other (the third book in Maya Banks's The Montgomerys and Armstrong series will be coming out in 2015, the book prior to this was released in 2013).

So, here's the "would you rather" question --

And here's the giveaway for this:

*This giveaway is via Rafflecopter and is open to International Readers.
*This giveaway will run until August 25.
*One entry per household per IP.
*Rafflecopter will select 1 winner.
*Up for grabs is a copy of The Captive by Grace Burrowes (digital copy via Kindle or paperback via The Book Depository)

A note about this feature --

I recently stumbled upon a fun and useful website, which allows you to make posters of quotes and whatnots. Go over and give it a try: Recitethis.com

I also just got Stationery App and it's so sparkly and glittery! I'm having fun just playing around with typefaces and backgrounds (chevrons! hearts! buntings!) --

Expect random questions posted on my Twitter, Facebook, Instagram pages, and here on Love Saves the World.
