It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a bookish meme hosted by Book Journey. It's where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It's a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list. So hop on over via the link above and join in...and leave a comment here so I can check out what you are reading.

I missed last week--so this represents two weeks of reading.

Mt. TBR Checkpoint Prize Winner!

As promised I have plugged in and warmed up the Custom Random Number Generator this morning. Feeding in all the entries....watching the lights flash....listening to it whirr and clank...and...the winner is: Entry #6--Gina from Hott Books! Woo Hoo! Let's have a big round of applause for our winner. Way to go, Gina! I'll be sending you an email shortly and you can let me know if you'd rather choose a book from the prize vault (and start building your mountain for next year's challenge **evil grin**) or take a chance on a surprise book/reading-related package. Thanks to everyone who joined in this time around. All right, let's get our mountain gear back on and start climbing towards our next checkpoint: Target last week in June.
