A Final Wrap-Up

Thank you to everyone who participated this year, and I hope that you had fun reading. I also hope you're all joining me for What's In a Name 2!

As a final goodbye, I had random.org choose a winner from those of you who commented on the previous post. The winner is: BeastMomma! Could you please e-mail me at rdagmstevens (at) frontiernet (dot) net and let me know what e-mail address you'd like me to send your gift certificate to?

Thanks again everyone!

finishing up, and starting over

I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by! And as the year comes to an end, so does the What's in a Name? challenge. But there is one more prize to be given out. I will be drawing the name of one person who has completed the challenge (don't worry, you still have until the end of the year). To be eligible, simply leave a note in the comments on this post letting me know that you read all six books, and tell me which one was your favorite. (I know many of you have already told me that you finished, but you must leave a comment on this post to be entered in the drawing.)

Okay, that's the finishing up, but what's the starting over? Well, that would be What's In A Name 2! Yes, I'm going to be hosting round 2 in 2009. Click that link to head over to the new blog and check out the new categories. Hope you'll all be joining in again!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated!

yes, I'm still alive

Sorry to have disappeared for so long, but I'm finally here to announce the winner of the previous contest...Somer! Congrats!

Again, I apologize for getting so far behind!

I'll be back soon with some new announcements...

another winner, another contest

And the winner of June's contest is: tinylittlelibrarian! Congratulations! (I'll be contacting you shortly to get your address.)

And for July's contest. Another category question. Animals, this time. What is you all-time favorite animal character? It can be real, fictional, talking, believable, whatever.

What's In a Name II

A few people have been asking if there's going to be a What's In a Name Challenge II. I'm happy to say that there definitely will be! When it's closer to time for the new challenge to start, I'll explain it a little more and have a post for sign-ups. It will be much the same as this year's challenge, but with all new categories! Hope you all will be joining in again!

Who's the winner this time?

Sorry I'm being such a bad challenge host and am late pulling a winner again. But better late then never! The winner this time is Kreed! Congratulations!

I bet you can all guess what June's contest is...you have to have read three books from this challenge! Be sure to comment and list which categories you've read! Good luck!

May's contest and April's winner

The winner for last month's contest is... Beastmomma! Congratulations!

(Beastmomma, could you please send your name and address to rdagmstevens at frontiernet dot net)

Now for May's contest! The question for this month is a Weather question: What is your favorite type of weather to read in? For example: I like to read on the couch during snowstorms and thunderstorms.

Good luck and have fun!
