Ta Daaaaaaaa!

Ahem.

I am pleased to announce that the winner for the first ever, "Sitting There Alone Book Give Away," is....

Christy!!!!

She sent me a fantastic email about how she fell in love with Anna Karenina. I figured that any mother of three who can keep all of those crazy Russian names and their various versions of their names straight while still being cognizant enough to recognize the "realizations about faith made by Levin after his marriage to Kitty," deserves a book. Plus, I really have a soft spot for moms with little kids who still read. You are inspirational. Really.

So, thanks Christy!
(I need your mailing address!)

And thanks to all of you who got me excited about reading your books. Book talk makes me giddy and weak in the knees. I've already read Anna Karenina so I think I'm gonna pick up Cecily's recommendation, "East of the Mountain", but P.A.J, I'd still love to read a copy of Alexandria's book one day!

What fun!
Thanks all.

Very good! Anna Karenina is a great book, and Levin's a great character. I only had time to read it because I was donating plasma.

No way! I'm so excited! Thank you, Angela! I would have chosen Paj-- anyone whose favorite book was written by their child is a winner.

Donating plasma sounds like a great way to get some books in, too. :)

Yay for the judging! I've been waiting with baited breath ;)

And man, I hope that book is really as good as I once thought it was!

Have fun!
