Meghan - CONGRATS! You won! Did you want a gift certificate for Amazon or Barnes & Noble? PM me your email address and which one you'd prefer and I'll get it to you ASAP!
Julie & Melanie - You tied for second, lol! Did you want Bookmooch or Paperback Swap credits? (What's your screen name for the site? PM it to me. I think I have to friend you on PBS if we aren't already in order to give credits.)
Jencey & Kristin - You tied for third, lol! Check out my inventory on either Bookmooch or Paperback Swap and let me know which book you'd like. (PM your address to me and I'll get it out in the mail next week.)
My screen name for both sites is: stacymarie913
Congrats to everyone!!!! On to the next! :)

Thanks so much Stacy, but I don't have an account with BM or PBS, so go ahead and give Melanie the prize. I had a ton of fun just participating!
Stacy,I will have to give credit to Kristin because I only had 105 points. She can claim third place. I wish I could take credit, but I have to be honest.
