Book reviews by a Christian writer/wife/mother
Thank you very much, Hamlette! This giveaway has been absolutely lovely, and I can't believe I actually *won* something. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, Naomi! I hope you enjoy your Damon Runyon collection :-) Have you ever read anything by him before?
DeleteNope, I haven't! I don't know what to expect. :-)
DeleteExpect quirky.
DeleteWasn't Damon Runyon the guy who wrote the book that "Guys and Dolls" is based on?
Delete"The oldest established permanent floating CRAP GAME in New Yoooooork . . ."
Ahem.
"Where's the action? Where's the game?" "Gotta have a game or we'll die from sha-a-a-a-a-a-a-me."
DeleteYup, that's based on "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown." Other movies that are based on his stories include "The Lemon Drop Kid" and "Little Miss Marker."
Wait, does that Emma mean me?!?!
ReplyDeleteWhy, as a matter of fact, it does! Emma = you.
DeleteI WON THE VIRGINIAN!!!!!! Eeeek! That is so funny, because I've been telling my sisters I was going to win it, and then this morning when I went to check I said, "Okay, time to see if I won The Virginian..." and I have! :-) Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteHaha, and now I see your little edit. ;-P Well, there ARE a lot of Emmas out there -- trust me, I should know. I just wanted to make SURE sure before I started freaking out. ;-D
Delete:-D That's quite funny! You're quite welcome.
DeleteYou were the only Emma who entered this, lol, so I didn't think to specify. But I can see how you might worry!
DeleteThanks so much, Hamlette! I can't believe I actually won a book! :D
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Vellvin!
DeleteYay! I believe this is only the second giveaway I've ever won (out of the dozens I've entered), so this made my day, especially since Where Eagles Dare was the one I most wanted to win. :) Thank you for hosting this!
ReplyDelete~Eva
Eva, really? Second ever? Awesome! You're most welcome :-)
DeleteThanks so much, Hamlette! I can't wait to get my copy of Keats. I mean, he's so awesome.
ReplyDeleteJessica, Keats is awesome indeed :-)
DeleteCongrats to all the winners!!! Thanks for this marvelous giveaway, Hamlette. :)
ReplyDeleteBetter luck next time, Natalie :-) (And yes, there will be a next time.)
DeleteHaha, that's all right. I'll look forward to next time, though! ;)
DeleteThanks, Natalie!:D (Oh, and yay! I'd been meaning to ask you, Hamlette, whether there would be another GBGB, so I'm excited to learn there may? I think a ton of us would participate again :D )
DeleteWell, I think we all had a lot of fun, so yeah, wouldn't it be a neat annual event? Every June? Either way, I'm sure I'll be hosting another giveaway next year.
DeleteI'll do it, too! Annually would be great! Although, now that I think about it, I may be moving next June...so we'll see. But thank you for the giveaway; it was so fun! And my prize will make a wonderful new book journal--mine's almost full, yay!
DeleteWell... doesn't have to be June. At this point, let's just say we'll do this again next summer sometime :-)
DeleteWowowowowoowww!! Seriously, the thing I wanted out of them all. A leather journal. ah! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Sarah Margaret! Really? That's the one you wanted most? So cool, then!
DeleteThank you SOSO much, Hamlette!:D I'm sure I'm going to enjoy the rainbow-colored book, and I'm especially looking forward to the sonnets! I need to brush up my Shakespeare (hey! I just had a chance to quote "Kiss Me Kate" in real life!!!), so this'll be great;D
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Olivia!
DeleteThank you, Hamlette! Seems like, literally, international giveaway, right? :D
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I've never had this big of a response to a giveaway before, or this diverse! Usually it's like there's 3 or 4 people who enter who are from out of the US, but this time, there were scads! Pretty groovy. I think I hit 4 continents here!
DeleteOh! Congratulations to all the wonderful winners...enjoy the reading:)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of the lovely winners! And thank YOU, Hamlette, for hosting this giveaway. :)
