Please pay close attention to if the giveaway is international or not. Most giveaways hosted by the bloggers (Kat Kennedy, Stephanie Sinclair and Meg Morley) are international.
Cuddlebuggery uses the third-party widget, Rafflecopter to run its giveaways. Rafflecopter uses email addresses, Facebook accounts and IP addresses to identify entries. This feature is also used to screen cheaters. Any user found to be using multiple accounts to fraudulently enter our giveaways will have their entries deleted and repeat offenders will receive a lifetime ban from Cuddlebuggery giveaways.
Giveaways are not open to those under 13 years of age as we cannot collect information from minors according to the law. So, if you see a giveaway you would like to enter, please have your parent/guardian enter for you. If you are found out to be an underage entrant, we will immediately disqualify all your entries.
Giveaway winners are asked to provide a valid mailing address within 48 hours of winning.

FTC Disclaimer
Sometimes Cuddlebuggery receives ARCs (Advanced Reader Copies) of books for review. Regardless, we always give our honest thoughts. We do not charge for reviews, nor do we receive discounts, gifts or favors in exchange for a review. ARC reviews will be tagged as such (“ARC” tag). All other books are either acquired by personal purchase or checked out from our public libraries.
Advanced Reader Copies
At Cuddlebuggery, we believe ARCs are for marketing and promotional purposes only. Therefore, when we are finished with our ARCs, we never sell them, but instead do one of the following:
- Host a giveaway on Cuddlebuggery to help build buzz for the title
- Pass it along to another blogger/reviewer for a potential review, including our Little Blogger, Big Ambitions program
- Shelve it if it was personalized to us
