I'm a Grand Prize Winner!

Yesterday, I got some of the best news I have ever received in my LIFE. EVER.

I won what could only be described as a book lover's dream come true. 28 AUTOGRAPHED books from 28 different amazing women authors. This includes an autographed copy of my beloved Jen Lancaster's latest My Fair Lazy, which I have been coveting since its release, but as a broke college student, have been waiting for in paperback, and Allison's new book, The One That I Want. CAN YOU SAY AHHHH!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!

Okay. Now I will try to calm down a little bit to explain the best story of my life. I read on Jen's blog that Allison Winn Scotch (another great author, I read her novel, Time of My Life - wonderful, by the way) was hosting a contest on Facebook. 28 winners would be chosen and each would receive one of the books. All you needed to do was leave a comment on her FB post for the contest, and winners would be randomly chosen. THEN, they decided that if they reached 1000 entries, they would add a grand prize winner in addition to the original 28 winners, who would receive all 28 books.

Well, who would have effing thought that when I opened up the note on Facebook titled "Drumroll Please... and The Winners Are..." that under GRAND PRIZE WINNER was my name. I couldn't believe my eyes. I literally started gasping and shaking. I couldn't catch my breath. It's like I won the lottery! NO! It's better than if I won the lottery, because these signed books are priceless! They will all come to me directly from the authors themselves, so I'll keep you all updated. They will have a special bookshelf in my room and I'll take pictures and everything.

Here is the list of books I'm getting on Allison's blog, and the winning announcement.

This is a dream come true! I never believed this would happen to me. I can't even describe how excited and happy I am.

A big huge thank you to all the authors who donated the books!!!! Especially Allison who held the contest (she is amazing!) and Jen (my favorite author ever, if you couldn't tell by my picture on the left, for announcing the contest on her blog).

I'm sorry if I sound like I am bragging. I do not mean to brag. I have just never been so lucky and happy before and no one understands my excitement about this. I am just bursting at the seams and I figured all my book girls here would understand. :)
