Hachette Winners: The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson

Congratulations go to:

A big thank you to Valerie at Hachette Books for opportunity to have this giveaway.

I would love to hear everyone's thoughts after you've read the book. In fact I'd like to have someone write a guest review to post on my blog. Let me know if that interests you.

I'd like to mention that the first three people I notified responded right away saying they'd won or acquired a copy since entering and that I should make someone else happy by drawing another name. I know this is common practise among book bloggers but it's certainly not expected and I think even small acts of kindness should be acknowledged. So thank you Janel (Janel's Jumble), Gwendolyn B. (A Sea of Books), and Jessica Marie (Books Love Jessica Marie). I'm proud to have you as regular readers.

Thank you to all 54 readers who entered the giveaway. Do check out the sites listed above. There are some good book reviews and news going on here on these book blogs. I follow every one of them myself. And welcome to my new followers. I hope you will continue to find good books and reading recommendations here at Fresh Ink Books.
