Winners and winners and more winners!



I am so late posting these winners! I was at my mom's house for a week and over the weekend attended my 25th class reunion. It was a lot of fun and I was glad that I went. Was able to see some people that I literally had not seen since graduation! A lot of us have linked up now on Facebook so they could possibly be reading this! (Leave a comment and say hello!) But anyway. . . my mom's computer was r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w so I didn't get much posting done. That and I had forgotten to take my spreadsheets of all the entrants to the giveaways.

But am home now and hoping to get caught up on posting about those books that have arrived - start a few of the weekly memes - need to get caught up on book reviews and also tell you all about my 8th graders dance and graduation! I also want to post the speech that she gave at the commencement!

But let's get down to the business of this post - Winners! I have winners of the 4 audio book giveaways and also the book, Night Watchman. You might actually see this post before they get emailed, because I wanted to get them up here first.

The Way Home - New Audiobook Giveaway!

The last giveaway for tonight - also from Hachette books and Anna (lets here some shout outs out there!) The Way Home by George Pelecanos (read by Dion Graham)

Christopher Flynn is trying to get it right. After years of trouble and rebellion that enraged his father and nearly cost him his life, he has a steady job in his father's company, he's seriously dating a woman he respects, and, aside from the distrust that lingers in his father's eyes, his mistakes are firmly in the past.

One day on the job, Chris and his partner come across a temptation almost too big to resist. Chris does the right thing, but old habits and instincts rise to the surface, threatening this new-found stability with sudden treachery and violence. With his father and his most trusted friends, he takes one last chance to blast past the demons trying to pull him back.

Like Richard Price or William Kennedy, Pelecanos pushes his characters to the extremes, their redemption that much sweeter because it is so hard fought. Pelecanos has long been celebrated for his unerring ability to portray the conflicts men feel as they search and struggle for power and love in a world that is often harsh and unforgiving but can ultimately be filled with beauty. (from Barnes and Noble)
