We Have A Winner…Well, Sorta…

I’m so excited to announce we have a winner for our January #PayABookForward FREE book bundle and BONUS PRIZE giveaway.

Well, sorta…

To have a chance to win the FREE bundle of children’s books, all people had to do was leave a comment on the original blog post, Facebook post, or Twitter tweet. People did that, and a winner was randomly drawn.

The winner of January’s book bundle is:

HOLLY MCCOY!

Holly, you will have until the 25th to accept your prize by providing a valid mailing address so I can send you your books. Congratulations and I hope you continue to share the love of books with others!

As for the BONUS PRIZE of Tammi Sauer’s signed book, people needed to leave a picture of a book they planned to “pay forward” to help spread the book love. Unfortunately, while I had many people TELL me they planned on doing that, no one actually left the picture so Tammi’s book will roll to another month.

I also need to clarify EXACTLY what I’m trying to do with this #PayABookForward year-long event. It seems some people didn’t understand all I want to do is give away books.

Many, many books.

Not to get more followers.

Not to add to my email list.

Not even to sell my OWN books.

I’ve been a voracious reader since I was four years old.

I LOVE BOOKS!

All books.

And my heart tells me I need to share that love of books with others. This isn’t the first time I’ve done it. I’ve given away over $175,000 worth of books to many, many people over the years.

Sometimes boldly.

Sometimes anonimously.

But NEVER for any other reason than to put GREAT STORIES in the hands of young readers.

So, hopefully, that clears up the confusion some people had. On February 10th, there will be another chance to win a different bundle of books for your school elementary library, local library, free libraries, homeschool group, or even your own home library. It’s my wish and prayer that word of mouth will help me get the word out about this #PayABookForward year-long event. Those free books are starting to pile up at my house and I want to shower the world with great stories all year long!!
