Whew-What a week! My assistant was out this week due to back problems. Then I spent today (12 noon to 9:30pm) taking my daughter to the emergency room where they did all sorts of testing. She has been battling fever and pain for two weeks. She apparently has had an infection that spread through a perforation in her uterus. Hopefully the antibiotics and pain meds will help her get the infection down so her GYN can check that all is on the mend.
When I got home tonight I had to prepare a rush closing package for a closing tomorrow that was cancelled until 11am this morning when the Buyer advised it was back on. *Sigh.* Now it is 12:30 and I am hoping not to fall asleep as I prepare this post. :-)
I have to get up extra early tomorrow to drive my DH in for a medical procedure at 6:45am. Like I said - what a week!
Thank you to all who entered July 27 Pick.
There was only ONE Automatic winner this week. (those who requested the book four times and I did not note other people asking for that book during those weeks). There were two blocked titles (Dead Ringer is a popular pick); The Promise was won this week.

Not all of these are two from a series but several are. Each pick gets two books.
I have finally updated the intro and Entry paragraphs here:
If you saw the pictures posted of
my bookshelves and boxes you know I do have lots of books! And that doesn't include the other eight or so boxes at my office!! And more books as I find deals too good to pass up! I am sharing my book bounty by these Friday Pick Giveaways.
I started Friday Pick in November 27, 2009 and in two years I posted 26 groups of 16 books to find new homes! (March 2012)
I have periodically update the lists - deleting those won. You can still go to the
Friday Pick list link to see older posts and the older lists book pictures if you want!
I am happy to say that so far about 394 books have found new homes! YAY. I have to update my print out to check the exact number sent out - a few were never claimed.
Note rules here regarding international entries.
Because postage to overseas can be prohibitive I am willing to give a $5.00 book certificate to international winners - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders, ARe, TWRP, ClassAct Books, eTreasures, Desert Breeze, etc....you tell me where and I'll set it up. So for my overseas visitors your comment may indicate a smaller book and I'll check postage or note your choice of gift card.
I learned that The Book Depository does not ship to everywhere. The postage for some of the books to far away places runs between $5.00 and $6.00 and up. Since I would award $5.00 for The Book Depository to an international winner, as an alternative you may choose a smaller book and we will hope the postage will not exceed $6.00. If the postage is more, or if you want to pick a larger book and you are willing to pay any extra postage beyond the $6.00 I will work with you on that. This may not make a difference to many but if it helps one or two of you to give one of my books a home that will make me happy too. :o)
TO ENTER:
Leave a comment and tell me WHICH BOOK you would like to get from the Friday Pick lists.
CUT OFF TIME IS THURSDAY NIGHTS AT 10:00 PM CENTRAL so I do not have to stay up past midnight to do the winner post!
I will randomly pick two winners to announce Friday mornings with the next Pick post.
Automatic wins are those who requested the book four times and I did not note other people asking for that book during those weeks.
WINNERS PLEASE CHECK THE WIN POST ON FRIDAYS AND fill in the
Winner's Acceptance Form or email me
at mesreads@gmail.com. [I will confirm receipt of the addresses- well I realize I haven't always done this. But if you filled out the form and don't get the book within two weeks nudge me with an email please!] If I have the winners e-mail I will send a reminder in a week or so....
Thanks for helping these books find new homes!!
Repeating this helpful blog tip: You can right click on a link and you will be given the choice to open the link in a new window or tab so you do not navigate away from the screen you are on!! I use this all the time!
