The End of Summer (Boo) and the Winners (Yay)

Tuesday, September 2, 2014
Today's the day after Labor Day, which means summer is officially OVER. This saddens me, because I'm not very fond of the cold, but on the other hand, it means that it's time to announce the WINNERS of the Fourth Annual Maureen "AJ" Ramey Memorial Summer Reading Program, brought to you by Hot Chicks Dig Smart Men.

This year we read 345 books, exceeding our initial goal, and almost reaching our first stretch goal of 350. This means I will be donating $300.00 directly to the Douglas County Library, and the Incomparable Anne™ will be donating $45.00 to the Douglas County Library Association in memory of our lost, beloved Moe. 

The WINNERS of the Fourth Annual Maureen "AJ" Ramey Memorial Summer Reading Program, brought to you by Hot Chicks Dig Smart Men are:

Remus, who read The Hurricane Sisters by Dorothea Benton Frank

and

Random Michelle, who read Speaking from Among the Bones, by Alan Bradley

Congratulations to you both! Random Michelle, I already have your e:Mail address. Remus, if you'd please send me yours using the contact details below the header, I'll get both your Amazon gift cards to you forthwith.

See you next year!

Congrats to you both!

Janiece,since I'm not a member of the library board, I'll go ahead and donate to the original spot that you were planning to donate to. Is that OK?

Janiece said...

And thank you!

Thank you! Thank you!

I'd like to that everyone who made this possible, mostly, my husband who lets me loll around on the sofa while he cooks dinner. I'd never have done it without him!
