A winner! Finally!

Hey, remember that contest I ran a while back for a signed hardcover special edition of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods? Yeah? Remember it?

I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t. It was kind of a while ago. Like, before the holidays a while ago. And who remembers things after the holidays? Didn’t we all spend our holidays sauced to the hilt and surfeited on terrible-for-us food? Who can remember little things like blog contests after that?

(Actually, my holiday week was pretty drastically sober, since I was visiting with the in-laws and had to behave myself. I know, right? Sheesh.)

Anyhow, I’ll keep it short today, since all I have to do is give books away.

Swag
Mmm...vodka....
The grand prize of the signed American Gods, along with Neverwhere and Good Omens in paperback (and a random book from my library) goes to… *drumroll* …


Congratulations, good lady! Just because you picked up a copy of Tangled Tides by Karen Amanda Hooper, you are now the proud (soon-to-be) owner of a passel of Neil Gaiman books. Whoo!

(Sorry, I’m not shipping the vodka, though. Mainly because it’s long gone.)

Also, since I’m generous like that, I’ve randomly selected a second winner, who shall receive a random book or two from my collection. (But again, no vodka.)

And the runner-up is… *drumroll* … *eyeroll cuz drumrolls are overdone* …


See, this is nifty because Alexandra did the interior art for Tangled Tides. Mad props to her for some really nifty imagery. Also, free books to her. Wins all round, baby.

And thus endeth the contest.

I’m exhausted now.

Who’s bringing me a martini?

You can snark at me. I don't mind.
