Morning Meanderings… Winners and I Am Out Of Here ;)

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

Good morning. 

*sips coffee slowly…. rubs back of neck*

Hopefully you were able to stop by yesterday for the all day blog party.  It was a lot of fun and as usual your comments make laugh… and smile.  Great job fellow book lovers! 

This morning I am announcing the 4 winners from yesterday in this post – but first need to cover a couple of other things so hang in there…. these tib bits of life may be interesting. 

1.  Audiobook Week sadly, ends today over at Devourer Of Books.  It has been a blast and if you have not checked it, go and do so.  For me however, it does not end today as I have a narrator interview going up tomorrow.  Kate Reading has chatted with me about narrating books, how it all began, and how it works for her, posting tomorrow.

The question on Jen’s blog today was – what are our best audiobook resources.  For me, I find I use audible.com frequently.  I had first heard about it on Twitter about a year ago and went over and checked it out.  The prices are good, they offer frequent sales, and they download to ITunes and then right on to my IPOD.  I use audible constantly as I always have a book downloaded on my IPOD (I call my IPOD Milton Podricker).  *Fact…. embarrassing fact:  I have no music on my IPOD.  I bought it strictly for books.  😯  Yup.

(I do however have a nano that I call Podette, and Podette has all my music for working out, riding bike, etc on that.)

See?  I am not completely goofy 😛

Today I leave in ummm…. about an hour for the cities.  About 20 of us are doing a bike ride this weekend called the MS 150.  I am pretty excited about that and whelmed at the same time.  The whelmed part is that there goes my entire weekend…. as I will not be back until Sunday afternoon and then I have to help with an event Sunday eventing.  GAH.  I hate being over scheduled (all on me, I do this to myself I know…) 

I am taking Laptop with me and hoping he survives the trip as a truck carries our luggage for us each day to the next stop where we stay in hotels and I am a little worried about Laptops well-being, but really…. can’t bear to leave him.  (ok, I see now I am back to being goofy…)  😀

Ok… finally… yesterdays winners.  I have to say – I wish you all could win.  You are so fun to chat with and I love to come home and see who had what to say.  You…. complete me.  (Oh man…. I really have the goofies bad today…… :razz:)

Ok… the winners are:

#1.  Lydia from Lost Entwife

#2.  Dixie from Reader Of The Pack

 

#3.  Deb from Debbie’s Book Bag

 

#4.  Hannah from Word Lily

 

Random.org has spoken!  😀  Winners please email me your shipping info to journeythroughbooks@gmail.com and I will get these out to you early next week. 

Thanks again everyone… I have to get a movie on it here but have an awesome post coming up later today with Heather from Age 30+ A Lifetime of Books.  😀

  8. My ipod was originally bought to put music on it for the gym, but at this point it is nothing but audiobooks and podcasts.

  19. Silly me. I entered after it was already over!! I’m the guest who shows up two days late for the party because they didn’t read the invitation correctly.
