Giveaway Results!

This is my 400th post! *throws confetti*

Meet Mike. "Do I look half-asleep?" he asks.

Sleepy or not, he's our Giveaway Guy. Why? Because I made him do it. I gave him his hat, wielded a camera, and here we are. (Is the hat fierce and sassy, as promised? I admit it's lacking zest, but I'll let you decide. I just couldn't get him in the fur-lined number.)

I readied thirty-two names, which went into the hat.

And for our first copy of Listening to the Page (see last post), Giveaway Guy pulls...

Alisa Hope Wagner from the beautiful site, Faith Imagined! Congrats, Alisa!

And quick, before Giveaway Guy nods off! Our second name is...

Tamika, from The Write Worship! Book two is yours to hoard away!

Congratulations winners! Please e-mail your mailing addresses to me, jannawrites (at) yahoo (dot) com, and I'll send your books this week.

`

Thanks, everyone, for playing along, I really had fun! And I think Giveaway Guy did, too...

Thank you, Mike, for your help. Mayhaps you've got cookies in your future.

Is it just me, or are there too many exclamation points in this post? It's all so dadgum exciting!

I Give You Books

I have something here beside me that I'm wanting to give away. Two somethings, actually; two new copies of the book Listening to the Page by Alan Cheuse.
`
I have to be honest, I haven't yet read my own copy, so I can't say whether it's entirely grand or something opposite. We'll have to read it together to find out.
`
But Cheuse is an esteemed author and NPR celebrity, who wrote this collection of essays about both writing and reading. It isn't a how-to, no, but rather a compilation of one writer's observations. Sounds intriguing, I think.
`
Check out his author's site, linked above. If the book (in paperback) is something you think you'd like, leave me a comment. At end of day Sunday -- let's say 7 p.m. CST -- I'll place everyone's names in a hat, something sassy and fierce, and ask my husband to draw randomly, twice.
`
Results will be announced Monday. See you then, winners' names in my pocket.
`
Have a great weekend!
