Read.Read.READ-A-THON: Virtual Prize Bucket

readathon

Thanks to Hachette and Sterling Publications, and the lovely Iris, Anna, Miriam and Valerie for these splendid prizes!!!

Throughout the day I will use my favourite random.org site and plug in the 61 numbers and people will win books. YES BOOKS! I will come visit you and let you know if you can pick something from our virtual prize bucket. Make sure you are commenting on your buddies blogs, and visiting the 'Breaktime Shindigs' (or that hour blog stops) for full qualification-but I am leaving that up to the honour system because I can't check up on all of you. ENJOY!!!

Once a title is scratched out, that means it is no longer available. Good luck!
