FINAL UPDATE - All prizes have been claimed - phew!
WINNERS UPDATE #2 -
Apparently, I keep randomly choosing people who have already won prizes! MandaNikole has passed her prize on to someone else, also - I'm gonna keep choosing random people until someone decides to take me up on it! I'll let you know when I find a winner....,
WINNERS UPDATE:
First place winner Lily, in the spirit of community that the Read-A-Thon is all about, has asked to pass her prize along to another participant. So, I did another random drawing, and the new winner is: MandaNikole of Literary Mumblings. Congratulations! =)
First of all, thanks so much to everyone who participated! I will be donating $2.50 for each participant to Reach Out and Read, so that adds up to a grand total of $55!! YAY!
Now down to business -I know this is what everyone has been waiting for - the winners of my Great First Lines mini-challenge!
The first place winner is: Lily from Related Reading, who got all 20 correct at 3:11 pm.
The second place winner is: ferrywoman, who got all 20 correct at 3:14 pm.
and then I tossed everyone else's name in a hat and drew one random winner who is: Becky from Becky's Book Reviews, who got 14 correct.
Congratulations everyone!
Here is the list of books you can choose from. There are all gently used, but still in good condition. As first place winner, gets first choice, and gets second choice, so winners please send me a list of your top 3 titles. If there is nothing on the list that catches your eye, let me know and I will get you a gift certificate to either Amazon or Powell's (your choice).
