Back in June<\/a>, when I was participating in the Armchair BEA<\/a>, a number of events and blogs had giveaways associated with them. I am a sucker for a contest, and so I entered some of them. And I won a few of them!<\/p>\n

Books have been rolling in for the last six weeks and wanted to pull them all together (a little belatedly) and share the bounty with you:<\/p>\n

\"Armchair<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

First, were the prizes from the Armchair BEA folks themselves: <\/p>\n

From them, I won Dead End in Norvelt<\/em> by Jack Gantos (donated by Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group) and ebooks of J.B. Lynn’s The Hitwoman Gets Lucky<\/em> and The Hitwoman and The Family Jewels<\/em> (donated by the author).<\/p>\n

I also won a couple contests from book bloggers:<\/p>\n

From Caribou’s Mom<\/a>, I won a Beth Kephart prize package. I was allowed to pick any of Beth’s books up to $30 in value, and I greedily chose three of them: Small Damages<\/em>, Undercover<\/em>, and Dr. Radway’s Sarsaparilla Resolvent<\/em>. (How can you not opt for a book with “sarsaparilla” in the title?)<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

And from Always with a Book<\/a>, I won Alison Atlee’s The Typewriter Girl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of the prize donors and book bloggers who generously offered giveaways and picked me. I am truly grateful and am looking forward to reading all these exciting books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
