Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some publishers have rescheduled publication dates for certain books. (Read more here)
Please be advised that some BookishFirst raffle books have been and may be affected by these changes. In this topic we will collect Pub Date changes as soon as we’re notified, so please reference this list before sharing your reviews on retail sites like Amazon.
Also, most publishers and their warehouses are still under lockdown due to the pandemic, so many are unable to ship print books at this time. This has been affecting the book industry as a whole, not just BookishFirst raffles. We’re in close contact with publishers on a weekly basis, and they’re all very hopeful they’ll be able to send out winning copies soon, while also staying safe and healthy. As soon as each publisher is able to ship their books, we will immediately update all the winners. If you have any questions about specific raffles or your account, please contact our support team directly (bookishfirsthelp@bookish.com) so we can help you quickly and securely. We very much appreciate everyone’s patience during this unprecedented time.

What does this mean for BookishFirst readers? Good news:
- In addition to this list in the Forum, we are also updating the book pages on BookishFirst with new pub dates.
- You will have a longer amount of time to read and write your review before publication.
- In the meantime, you can still promote the book on social media—and we encourage you to do so, because it will benefit the author and the book’s future success.
- You will get an email reminder of a new publication date when it comes time to post your review on BookishFirst and on retailer websites.
Thank you for your understanding,
The BookishFirst Team
