Winner, Winner, SUNDAY Dinner

7:14 AM

You know what I'm craving for Sunday dinner? Juicy chicken fried steak, pillows of creamy whipped mashed potatoes, buttery peas and, for dessert, brownies and ice cream. Yum yum. I would just go ahead and make it, but I'm preparing for a radioactive iodine treatment which means I'm on a low-iodine diet - no iodized salt, no dairy, no ice cream, no chocolate, no anything good. Blech. I've been on it for exactly a day, and I'm dying!

Not that my dinner fantasies have anything to do with anything, I was just trying to come up with a clever title for this post. The point is, Random.org has chosen the winner of 1 copy of My Ridiculous, Romantic Obsessions by Becca Wilhite. Congratulations to:

Misskallie2000

The book will be mailed by the publisher, but I need you to shoot me an email with your snail mail address. Thanks a bunch!

In other giveaway news, I still haven't heard back from Jennii, who won a copy of Taken By Storm by Angela Morrison. Unless she happens to contact me today, I will be drawing another winner tomorrow.

I've also got 2 ARCs of Lies by Michael Grant coming my way. As soon as they arrive, I'll announce a contest for them. And, just for Krista, it will include a silly question :)

Have a wonderful Sabbath. If you're having a wonderful, salt-laden Sunday dinner, I don't want to know about it!

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.

P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!
