Here we go into week 4 of the Summer Book Trek. I am having so much fun seeing all the books we’re reading! Woot-woot!
To answer just a few questions:
- YES! You can still ADD YOUR BOOK as a sponsoring prize!
- YES! All prizes will be given away! If there are leftovers at the end of the month, I’ll do random drawings until they’re done.
- That (#) by the winners’ names indicates the random number that was chosen as the winner using random.org.

Some titles on your list have no place to add a rating and some books I read (sometimes because they’re not actually released yet) aren’t on your list so I can’t rate or comment on them. Also because Amazon puts a lot of books in categories they don’t belong in, I can’t be sure that a book in their LDS novels list is actually by an LDS author if I’ve never heard of that person before. I don’t really expect you to fix these things; I just thought I’d mention the difficulty of your contestants being certain they”re getting all possible points. This is a fun contest and I hope you do it again sometime.
