Cristina Alves!! I couldn’t be happier with this winner. Cristina has been faithfully entering the Monday Book Giveaway since last November and has never won. So congrats, Cristina! This is your lucky day!
#2 The runnerup winner gets her choice of book (Moonlight Warrior by Janet Chapman), plus the two bookmarks, and I’m going to throw in a postcard promoting Diana Rowland’s great paranormal novel The Mark of the Demon. The second winner is …
Jacqueline L.! Jacqueline put five explanation points on her congrats, one for each year, “kinda like upside down candles.” How adorable is that? Congratulations, Jacqueline!
Winner #3 chose Lost Hours by Karen White and is … Karen K.! Congratulations, Karen!
Winner #4 chose Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer and is … Julie! Congratulations, Julie!
Winner #5 chose Sweet Love by Sarah Strohmeyer and is … Brook! Congratulations, Brook!
Congratulations, all of you! Please send your shipping information to katrina (at) stonoff (dot) com, and I’ll get your books and loot in the mail. How fun is this! Somebody remind me about my blogiversary next year, and we can do it again, with six winners.
For this week, as promised, somebody gets a copy of a book we’ve all been waiting for for a long time: An Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon. Yep, it drops tomorrow (Woot!). Echo in the Bone is the seventh in a series, so if you haven’t read the others, you may substitute the first book, Outlander. Of course, then I’ll have to pick another winner who wants the new one because it would just be a shame not to give it away.
To enter, comment below and come back next week to see if I’ve drawn your name from one of my hats! Contest open to anyone on the planet who has access to reliable mail service.
*Just for the record: the hat is brand new. I only put it on long enough to take a picture.

I’m not entering, this week, as I’ve fallen way behind on the series. I think I read the first two books before life got in the way and I lost my train of thought. I do want to congratulate all this week’s winners, though. Katrina, this Monday book giveaway of yours is getting to be a huge deal! Many thanks for your generosity and diligence.
September 22, 2009 at 11:38 pm
Hope it’s my chance to win a book from you

Can you see me stomping, and here me saying, “Dang! Dang! Dang! I’ve waited soooooooooooooooooo loooooooooooooooooooooong for Diana Gabaldon’s next book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, how are you doing?
September 24, 2009 at 6:03 pm
It’s amazing. Your hats always seem to match what you’re wearing perfectly.
Anyway, I’d like to win the Gabaldon book. “Outlander” is one of my all-time favorite books. I often give it as a birthday present to friends.
