Pick a Book, Any Book

September 22, 2008September 8, 2008 Karen

Guess what time it is?

It’s time for another Buy A Friend a Book week!

Yep, I’m going to randomly pick a reader out of a hat and send him/her a book of his/her choice from Amazon. No, no, not right now. The first week of October.

Okay wait, instead of explaining it all over again, just click over here and read more about it.

In the meantime, mark your calendars and be sure to come back September 26th and put your name in the comment “pot”. It’s not everyday someone offers to buy you a book for no good reason!

July BAFAB Winner Announced

July 3, 2008July 3, 2008 Karen

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who put their name in the comment pot for my July Buy a Friend a Book (BAFAB) giveaway. And a HUGE THANK YOU to those that posted my button and spread the word – I heart you guys, truly I do.

I’m listing all of the people who were interested in the free book here. Since wordpress.com doesn’t come with that snazzy sticky feature (I miss the sticky feature wordpress! Waah!), I’m going to have to clear the FREE BOOK page so I can use it again for October’s BAFAB drawing. (Sorry about the comments disappearing! When I closed comments on the FREE BOOK page wordpress made them disappear! They are still there, you just can’t see them! ACK!)

But I didn’t want to lose all of the comments, or the lnks to the wonderful people who left a comment, so, I’m listing them here so their links remain and I can do what I need to do with the FREE BOOK page.

Capiche?

Don’t worry, it doesn’t really make sense to me, either. 😀

Here are the uber-cool people who put their names into the comment pot (in no particular order):

1. Shoshana	2. Danica	3. Melanie	4. Tina
5. Julie	6. Sandy	7. Emily	8. Dawn
9. Teresa W.	10. Lori Barnes	11. Elaine	12. Lulliannie
13. The Book Muncher	14. Samantha	15. Karin A	16. Johannah B
17. Carol Ezovski	18. Kristine Peacock	19. Janelle	20. Lizzie
21. Juxtabook	22. Melanie	23. Debbie	24. Book-Adorer
25. Ryan	26. Chel	27. Judy	28. The Story Siren
29. Marianne	30.avni	31. Deborah	32. ellie
33. Cyndi	34. Breanna	35. Lucy D	36. Alessandra

54. Tina

After running the number of commenters through random.org, here are the top three picks:

CONGRATULATIONS BECCA!!!

(In the event that I can’t reach Becca within three days (by 5:00 p.m. U.S. central time July 6th), the second person listed wins the book. So, if your number was drawn, check your email!)

Thanks again for participating, everyone! I LOVELOVELOVE doing this every quarter! Please bookmark me and we’ll do this again in October!
