Whew - this week has flown by especially with me traveling to Orlando and back on Tuesday and Thursday. It was fun but now I have a push for work on Friday. :-)
Thank you to all who entered October 14 Pick. There were
THREE (Woo Hoo again!) Automatic winners this week (those who requested the book four times and I did not note other people asking for that book during those weeks).
Louisa chose Firestorm.
Carol W Update-- Chose Final Appeal instead of Point No Point which was won 9/9 and hasn't been on the lists for the past two weeks. Final Appeal was not a pick for anyone else for the past five months so it now goes to Carol. :-)
LuAnn chose Kiss of Fate
CONGRATULATIONS

All winners please fill in the
Winner's Acceptance Form
or email me to confirm your win, send your snail mail address
information and let me know if you would like bookmarks - sensual or
sexy +plus - I am currently low on just sweet.
Is anyone else ignoring the falling leaves while you read like me?
There are eight mysteries and I have asterisked nine books that are smaller and would be good for oversea choices if so desired.

Group #19
Singles
2/19/11 Book Group #18- Pairs!
Not all of these are two from a series but several are. Each pick gets two books.
Patricia Cornwell Pair:
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.
So far I have posted 23 groups of 16 books to find new homes!
I have updated 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 245 books have found new homes! YAY. I have to update my print out to check the correct number sent out.
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. :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 before 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!

This

still says "But you may want to read that some day!" Yes, yes; along
