Reader's Choice Winners

So NOTHING has been posted online, but according to the list posted at my local library...

Winner: State of the Onion by Julie Hyzy
Second Place: My Enemy's Cradle by Sara Young
Third Place: Dewey by Vicki Myron

Read all three, really liked all three.... but a little surprised. Honestly, I thought The Guernsey Literary and Potatoe Peel Pie Society would win. I don't think it was even top 5. Weird.

Singularity's Ring by Paul Melko was the very last on the list, which is kind of sad. I liked that one.

Apparently, the winners had 203, 182 and 170 votes, respectively. I have no idea what that means. They could be only counting "loved it" ballots.... or those plus "it was ok" ballots.... no clue.

Really, though, I hate that there are only 3 options. "I loved it" "it was ok" and "didn't like it". Really? What about "I liked it"? Sometimes you like a book but it just isn't love. And what about "I absolutely hated it"? "Didn't like it" just isn't always strong enough...

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, Boo's swine flu test was NEGATIVE!!!!!!! WOOHOO!
:D

Third Time's A Charm.... Winner!

So the WINNER of my third giveaway is..... (drumroll.....)

SUEY!

And well.... Suey.

So-- send me your mailing address (schriftstellarin[at]hotmail[dot]com) and you can either a) have all 6 books or b) pick 3 and choose somewhere for me to donate/someone you know to receive the other 3! Up to you!

Faultline Winner!

And the winner is Llehn!!

I don't have an email address for you, so please email me (schriftstellarin(at)hotmail(dot)com) with your address!!

Congrats!!

Reader's Choice Winners!

The winners have finally been posted!!

1st Place-- Garden Spells
2nd Place-- Life on the Refrigerator Door
3rd Place-- Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay, which I haven't read but looks REALLY good! (But sadly, I am out of hold spots.... drat.)

So.... based on what I read..... here's my winners:
1st Place-- Magic Lost, Trouble Found (you're shocked, I know)
2nd Place-- Garden Spells
3rd Place-- I'm honestly not sure what I would pick for third.... Interred with their Bones probably... or The Zoo Keepers Wife.... or Whatever You Do, Don't Run.... or Life on the Refrigerator Door....
How's that for indecisiveness?

In just a few more weeks it starts all over again!! The next Reader's Choice runs January to April!!
