Out With the Old Giveaway...

...and let's get right to the next one.  This is also for those who love YA (young adult literature).  Here's why I thought we'd dive straight into the next giveaway: for those whose names I didn't pull, I'm going to leave you in the hat for a hardcover copy of Diary of a Witness.  I'll also take new comments from new folks from now until Saturday April 16th.

These YA giveaways have no bearing on the giveaway of the signed ARC (advance reader's copy) of Pay It Forward, which is going on until the end of April.  Please feel free to put your name in for both.  You can learn more about that giveaway on my post Pay It Forward Collector's Items.  

So...drum roll please...the winner of the paperback copies of The Year of my Miraculous Reappearance and The Day I Killed James is...Patty Ann W.  Thanks to all who entered and left great comments.

And the winner is...Kristy McRae, whose name was in the hat from the last giveaway (I entered the new names below as well).  I'm saving the name of everyone who entered.  Not sure why yet, but it has something to do with the fact that I wanted you all to win.  At very least, I'll add you to the running in a future giveaway (taking a bit of a break for now).  Still trying to think how everybody can be a winner in some way.  It's only the excessive postage costs that keep me from sending a free book to everyone.  I'm thinking.  If you have thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

Wow! Nice little flurry of activity. I'll draw a name tomorrow around 6:30 p.m. (Pacific time) and let you know.

Yes I do! I do not own this book and Chloe is out of books to read! Also it makes us feel special and loved every time we look at our Hyde collection, so we'd love to add to it!
