Grand Prize
September 1, 2008
Contest Results
Over two and a half months, eleven participants read seventy-eight different authors for a total of ninety-eight books. I am amazed and humbled by all the contestants.
The grand prize winner of the 2008 Summer Reading Contest is:
Steve!
He didn't read the most but when random selection is the rule, it is better to be lucky than good. Steve gets the grand prize of an Amazon gift certificate for $25.
But wait! That's not all. With a total of 36 books (almost one every two days) the prize for most prolific reader goes to Anonymous! That person will receive a bag of customized M&Ms (which finally arrived).
But wait! There's still more! Besides the fun and games the real goal here is to make a donation. The charity this year is Building New Hope and their project Yo Puedo Leer which supports libraries in Nicaragua. Ninety-eight contest entries would mean $98. You all did so well, I'm going to round it up to $100.
Congratulations to all the winners. Many thanks to all the participants. You all rock.

to everyone. Thanks, Todd, for the opportunity to contribute in my own small way--and I do mean small :)
I have fun hosting and I hope everyone enjoys participating.
Woohoo! I won, I won, I won! September is off to a great start. Woohoo! Thanks, Todd. And congrats to Anon, all the other winners and Building New Hope, which is the real winner.
I'd like to thank my wife for her support and... ::here the music swells, the ushers come and take Steve off the stage::
Congrats Steve! I just realized that's two years in a row you've taken the top prize. We might have to retire your number. ;-)
Yeah, next contest I'm just playing for the charity. Just like the other stars.
Even if I am wildly jealous of your free time for reading. :)
