Maw Books

Maw Books – book reviews, book recommendations, book lists, author interviews and more!

Thanks to everybody who participated in my book giveaway this past week to help me celebrate the new Book Bloggers Book Reviews! I really hope that you’ll find this new database as a great reference for you to find new book reviews, new blogs and new friends! I’m always updating it so be sure to come back often. Some people have also asked for a button that they can put on their blog. I hope to be coming up with something soon.

So on to the giveaway! Perhaps you’re wondering who got the most hits in my Google Reader. The question was: which author do you think came up with the most hits in my Google reader? Shannon Hale, Marcus Zusak, Jodi Picoult, or Stephenie Meyer? This is how it panned out:

Shannon Hale: 432
Marcus Zusak: 401
Stephenie Meyer: 394 (another 99 if you spell her first name incorrectly as Stephanie, but I didn’t count those. Here’s some trivia: she’s named after her dad thus the unique spelling of Stephenie)
Jodi Picoult: 328

Most guessed Picoult but surprisingly she was last. Only Kim from Good Clean Reads guessed correctly for two entries.

I really, really wish that I could give each of you something, it breaks my heart that there are only two winners. But I’ll tell you a secret, my 100th post (wow, time flies when you’re having fun!) is only a few posts away and I’ve been thinking about how I’m going to celebrate for weeks now. I’m so excited that I think about it in bed at night! So stick around.

I put everybody’s name in a hat and the first two I drew are the lucky winners who get to pick FOUR books of their choice for their reading pleasure. They are:

Raych from Books I Done Read

and
Trish at Trish’s Reading Nook
(that was worth a few teeth now, wasn’t it?)

Congratulations! Take a look at this list and let me know what books you’d like and email me a mailing address as well. Diane at Book in Hand and Marg at Reading Adventures previously won one book from the list as well. You’ll see those crossed out. Congrats to them again as well. That makes 10 books I gave away this last week. If Raych and Trish pick the same books I’ll have to figure out what to do.

Thanks!
