Ah, the Party's Over...

It's been a full week now and I believe most everyone who finished the challenge is displayed on Mister Linky.

Before I announce the grand prize winner, I would like to thank each and everyone who gave up valuable reading time to participate in the challenge; especially, in light of the brutal heat we experienced in August. I hope it simulated that Southern feel within the books read. I know my thighs stuck to the vinyl seats more than once these past three months. :D

HUGE THANKS to Deana of Friday Night Fish Fry for her donation of hubby's autographed, Southern books for the Sense of Place Contest and the final drawing. My hubby keeps picking up Mobil Home and I, with sadistic enjoyment, keep slapping his eager, ready-to-read hands. :D

Friday Night Pecan Winners for the past two weeks weren't announced, thus Mo of Inside Mo's Mind and Heidijane of Adventures in Bookland have some 'cans coming there way...

The Southern Challenge Winner, lucky seven himself, Sage of Musings will be receiving an autographed copy of Martin Clark's The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living and a magnolia tin of tasty pecans! Congratulations Sage!

AND, Congratulations to all who participated in the challenge.

YOU are ALL Winners in my Southern BOOK!

Oh gosh Maggie...it's YOU who deserves the thanks! What a wonderful challenge...I thoroughly enjoyed it (actually I still am...as I'm still finishing up my last book *hanging head in shame*).

Hi, Maggie. My review is a bit late but posted this morning nonetheless. I wonder if you've read the book I reviewed and if so, what you thought of it.

I feel like a winner - Thanks, Maggie. I really came out ahead with the books I read. I'm loving the Southern sisters mysteries. Hope you do this again next summer.

Loved the thighs sticking to the vinyl comment. Made me smile.
