Giveaway Winner Announced and Versatile Blogger Award

It's September 15th. Time to announce the winner!

Thank you so much to everyone who has entered and subscribed. I'm super excited about my plans for this blog. And now...

I wrote all the entries on this handy list:



Then I put a bunch of numbered slips of paper in a hat (actually, a box), and pulled one out! As you can see, my cell phone takes awful pictures, so I didn't bother taking a picture of that. But the winner is number 30. Which is...

Josh Gallant!

Congratulations, Josh! You've won the $25 Amazon Gift Card. Hopefully you'll use it for books.

Please email me at 25Classics1Year@gmail.com and give me your email address, so that you may receive the prize.

In other news, SueBE from http://suebe.wordpress.com/ has awarded me with the Versatile Blogger Award. Wow! Thank you so much, SueBE. You should all go check out her blog. Not just because of the award, but because she has interesting posts like this: Mysterious Book Art in Edinburgh and highly relatable posts like this: Writer's Block.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass this Award along to 15 recently discovered blogs and let them know about it.
