Stephanie T. from Houston, Texas! Stephanie will be receiving a copy of Vince Antonucci's I Became a Christian and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt. I don't know you, Stephanie, but I hope you will gain something from the book and will then pass it along to someone else who can benefit. Congratulations!
Stephanie's entry in this week's give-away was one from a record number of participants. "Record number" being easy to achieve because it was the first such contest. But you loyal and kind readers have set the bar high, and I appreciate your interest in this new blog. Plenty more give-aways to come, I promise.
To the kind Canadian who sheepishly entered with an apologetic "I'd love to win this book if you're willing to mail it to Canada," I am just letting you know that as long as the USPS stays in business, I can cross all kinds of borders. Don't let geography hold you back. Throw your name in the hat every chance you get.
A reminder: Look for a new post Monday, when I review a few Southern memoirs. (Some are actually compilations of essays, but I figure if they're written in first person, I can call them "memoirs." It's my blog; I can do what I want.) And even if you live in, say, Canada, I'm certain you'll find something you'll enjoy ... if only just the titles of the books. Crazy.
Happy weekend. And if you live in the United States, happy LONG weekend as you celebrate your favorite president on Monday. Throw a barbecue, sleep in, buy some new towels and linens, whatever floats your boat.

From your sheepish Canadian: Bless your heart! I lived near Atlanta from 2002-2007 so am VERY much looking forward to the reviews of Southern memoirs. There is much I miss about the South and find I need to read something set there every once in a while. Just finished a little Joshilyn Jackson marathon a few weeks ago. And recently got a line on authentic Louisiana barbeque here in Toronto...we'll see about that!
