Well, it’s official – my first giveaway is complete and winners have been randomly selected (thank you, Random.org)!
First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who entered. Your comments, tweets, posts, joinings, and every other little tidbit of interest you showed in the blog and the contest were most appreciated. Running a daily blog while trying to write “real” fiction is challenging at times, and occasionally (as regular readers know) it gets me down a little when I see how much time gets spent pulling book reviews and commentaries and things together – time I’m not spending on finishing the book(s) I’m trying to get published. But then something happens – I get a bunch of comments on a post, people want to guest-feature me, or I get a new slew of followers, and it’s all worth it!
Well the response to the contest – and the increase in Google Friend and Networked Blog Followers – did exactly that, so thank you again!
Now on to the Important Stuff – the announcement of winners! The two winners (you may recall I said I would do a second set of giveaway prizes if Google Friends got to 150 and Networked Blog Followers got to 100 before the contest closed) are:
1. Rae at Best O’ Books
AND
2. Darlene at Darlene’s Book Nook
Congratulations to both of you and thanks again for entering!! Keep reading/stopping by too, everyone, because there will be more giveaways on a more regular basis from now on. In fact, a little bird tells me there just might be one starting tomorrow… 😉
Thanks again!!
Woo hoo! Thanks, Jill-Elizabeth!! And congrats to Rae as well!
You’re very welcome – both of you!
Rae wins everything! Congratulations to your winners.
Does she really?? teehee – as someone who NEVER wins ANYTHING, I am always envious of the people (like The Fiancee or my mother) who always seem to win contests or drawings or raffles… I will be doing giveaways regularly, so maybe it’ll be your turn next time C.Lee!! 🙂
A belated thank you to Jill-Elizabeth on her giveaway contest, and for me being chosen one of the winners! I was having medical issues and thought I had to give up my blog, but I got “tweaked” and am now able to be back with my BB friends, just maybe not as often and not being pulled in so many directions 🙂
p.s. Jill, my package arrived today and I want to thank you again, and I love your personalized tote bag and stationery!
I so enjoy your column here and am a faithful reader, Rae
You are very welcome Rae – so glad the package arrived swiftly and that you like the stuff AND that you are back on the bench and ready to go! And thank you so much for the lovely compliment!!
