Our ALAWB2008 Audiobook Winners Announced!

I am sorry to be so terribly late with this!

I was so excited about our Digital Learning theme in April that I almost forgot about awarding our audio book prizes to to the reviewers who participated in A Love Affair with Books for 2008!

The drawing was done in the old-fashioned, yet reliably fair way of putting all our guest reviewers names in a hat, once for each book they reviewed, with my hubby doing the drawing honors.

Drum roll please!

And our winners are... in the order in which their names were drawn:

1. Karen Wallace
2. David Zinger
3. Ben Whitehouse
4. Dwayne Melancon
5. Kevin Eikenberry

To our winners :) Go to Audible.com and choose any book you like, whether we had reviewed it here during ALAWB or a totally different one. Then let me know of your selection via our community mailbox and I shall send you a link for your download.

Ho‘omaika‘i ‘ana – Congratulations!

Once again, mahalo nui loa to all our guest reviewers, and keep reading!

[Karen Wallace]

Oh! Wow! First out of the hat? That's really a first, and a wonderful surprise this Monday morning! Thank you Rosa, I'm not sure how I am going to chose but I sure am grateful.

And don't worry about the delay - it's all the sweeter for it. You're a treasure (and give hubby a smooch for me as thanks for his clever drawing...)

[Dwayne Melancon]

Wow - what a surprise! Thank you. I have already bought most of the books that caught my fancy from the April reviews. I think I'll indulge in a Fantasy title, instead.

[Rosa Say]

Hubby says you're welcome Karen :) He was pleased to contribute in some small way to JJL since he is a self-proclaimed "digital dinosaur" ... he is the rarity who has no email address and sees no reason to have one.

[Kevin Eikenberry]

Rosa - like the other lucky winners, I was excited to have won. After thinking about it a bit though, I decided to share my good fortune with Pam Thomas who tied with Karen for the most comments on a March post. I'll congratulate Pam here (I hope you enjoy your new audio book) and let you finish the process Rosa.

Thanks to everyone in this commmunity for making it such a special place.

Kevin :)

[Pam]

Kevin, bless your sweet heart. Thank you -- what a wonderful gift and I appreciate your thoughtfulness. You are so right, this is a special place thanks to you and all the other fine readers, supporters and contributors. :)

Kevin and Pam, your comments are numbers 2,360 and 2,361 for Joyful Jubilant Learning and I am so tickled pink by this! The JJL story is one that is truly felt and experienced in the comment boxes, and you have both added a great chapter today!
