The winner is...

Well, first of all I wanted to show you the highly technical means I used to pick the winner. That's right, the old pick a name out of a hat (or Tupperware) trick...

There were 7 out of 11 of you who updated your pages (and I didn't count myself, but I did update my pages) so that is great!

This is the prize!

These are all things that I think are essential for reading. A book light, so you can read at night with out disturbing your significant other, a fun book mark, and some chocolate. Who doesn't like chocolate when they read, right?

And finally.... our winner!

Congratulations Mary! I think it is good karma from being so good about updating that you won.

I hope the prizes help you enjoy your reading time just that much more. :)

As for the rest of you wonderful ladies, I'd love some feed back. How is this book club working for you, any problems with keeping track of your pages or ways we could make it easier?  Should we have another contest or drawing, maybe the most pages next month?

Oh and as I mentioned before I am going to have a Pride and Prejudice movie screening at my house this Saturday. I think we will be watching the Keira Knightly version for the simple reason that the BBC version (while still my favorite) is a six hour miniseries. If you are interested in joining me, please email me and lets see if we can coordinate a time that will work for the most people.

I don't believe you aren't reading...

So where are everybody's pages?  At the rate we are going we are going to be lucky to crack the 100,000 mark this year. I don't want this to be a pressure or a stress in your life, so is there anything I can do to make recording them easier for you?  If you want to send me the information I'd be happy to enter it.  Do you need a reminder every now and then? And don't forget there are no due dates or deadlines, if you haven't entered anything for months but you've been reading you can still count it all!

How about a little incentive? I will have a drawing for a great book related prize (I can't be any more specific right now, because I just came up with this idea while typing so I don't know for sure what it will be yet...) and all you have to do to be entered is record your reading pages between now and 12:00 am on the 23rd! I'll post the winner on the 23rd. Any questions? Alright, so go figure out what you've read and let's get those numbers up!

P.S. To those who have been recording their pages regularly, thank you! And you will still be eligible for the drawing, just keep doing what you're doing and record some pages this week. :)
