It seems like everyone loves vampires, as they rank pretty high up on the list. Thanks again, everyone! I know I've already read some on the list, but otherwise I can read in the approximate order in which you suggested them to me--give or take "breaks" for ARCs or other things that catch my eye (I'm A.D.D. like that). I will be marking Series Summer reviews with SS# to make them stand out, and so you can check up on my progress if you want. I'll be reading at least one book a week--probably more because with all my commuting time between work, I have been finishing a book a day!

And for the moment you're all waiting. After calculating all the entries, the winner, out of over 3000 entries (yes, 3000. Told you I'm not doing the +10 thing next time) is:

#465 stargirlreads!

Congratulations! I've emailed you, so get back to me with your mailing address and I'll send your prize out to you.

Thanks to everyone else who voted and helped me out with my TBR pile! I had so much fun doing this that I'll definitely be doing this once a season. Look out! :)

  2. I can't believe you didn't like Wings! [Not trying to be rude if it comes off that way] I thought it was amazing. I also love the Ruby Oliver ones. I've heard a lot about the Vampire Academy series and it's all been praise. You Are So Undead to Me was amazing! Hope you enjoy reading the rest!

  5. Hello, Miss Steph Su. Doylestown, PA it is. I don't expect much of a crowd (it's about an hour from where I and most of my friends live) and would love to see you!

  6. Haha Steph. That is a great list you got from everyone. Even though you didn't like Wings, you should totally do the comment for my contest, just for fun. I really want to see what you would come up with in particular.
