All right, first off, the winner of my followers recommendation contest is KIRTHI! Yay Kirthi! She recommended GABY. Hi, Gaby! Glad to have you as a follower! Kirthi, I need you to e-mail me so I can put in your order for Forest Born UK edition.

Okay. Now. I haven't had much time to read (Guys, college is hard.) So my TBR pile just keeps building, and building, and building. My grandma recently commented on the largeness of her TBR pile, so I decided to show you guys mine. I couldn't do it in a picture though, this required a video:

If I'm counting correctly that's THIRTY-NINE (39) BOOKS!!! And the crazy thing is, I really do want to read them all.

As soon as the term is over, I'm going to have a read-a-thon. ...while working two jobs.

Yeesh.

But I will admit looking at the pile makes me very happy, and excited. Yay for reading!

Wahoo! Time to announce the winners! I did pick three, because we had 47 entries and I wanted roughly a 1 in 15 shot at winning. Otherwise it's just no fun!

Before I announce the winners, some random facts:

(she wins Enna Burning)
AJA
(she wins River Secrets)

How cool is that?! I did not mess with these results at all, and yet my three winners were all DIFFERENT Bayern books! I thought for sure neither of the Enna Burning people would win. But they did! And just out of curiosity I kept generating random numbers to see how long it would take to find a B100 winner. It took me 11 times! That's really unlikely! Don't you just love randomness? It's so... random!

It's over! Stop the presses! The results are in!

Please allow 24 hours for processing...

I'll have the winner, as well as some cool stats, posted tomorrow. And by tomorrow I mean 12:00am May 7th. See you then! (or not... 'cause I'll actually be asleep. Yay for scheduled posting!)

You have one more day to enter my giveaway! And that's not 24 hours, folks. It's more like... *counts*... 15 hours! Dun, dun, DUN! *dramatic music*

I've gotten enough entrants to DEFINITELY give away 2 books, just a few more and I'll give away 3!

Click here to enter the giveaway!

Oh, and you guys have done GREAT at getting more followers. Only three more!

*sigh* I didn't make it to Borders before the coupon expired. My local borders isn't really local, it's a 30 minute drive to get there, and I just didn't have the time.

But, most of you probably saw that they just sent out ANOTHER coupon for 33% off anything!

I love Borders.

I took all the books you recommended and put them into a list. I'm a patron of three different libraries (Yes, three) and so I searched all those to see which of your books I couldn't find at a library. The only one I couldn't find anywhere was The Devouring by Simon Holt (recommended by Milli, thanks!). It looks super-creepy and good! So I'm gonna try and head down there today and grab it.

You guys are so great. You suggested so many great books that I've never even HEARD of before! I'm so excited. Much love to my blogger friends!

'course... I'll be more excited when my 7-week calculus binge is over. Then I can actually READ again!

THANK YOU!!!!
