About shipping books to winners. We haven’t started that process yet. I know I asked for everyone’s patience on this at the beginning of the giveaway, so this is just a reminder. Allow one month from now. If you don’t have your book by November 1st, give me an e-holler. (Keep in mind that none of the authors/publishers have the names and addresses of their winners yet. But they will shortly.)
I’ve still got one winner to pick. So don’t forget to check back to see if you won!
And then we’ve still got three “most inspirational” winners to select after that! Give me until Tuesday Friday, October 9th for that. Judy and I are going to need to put our head’s together to decide.
And then I still have a lot more people to thank. So don’t go away! We’re not done yet!!!
And finally, if you enjoyed the giveaway I hope that you will add the WMBTSG badge to your blog.
