Contests
So Many Books Contest Winners and Runners Up
We received quite a few entries and the quality was exceptionally high and picking the winner and finalists was pretty damn tough. Although, because of timing, we weren’t able to work with Rick Moody to select a winner, scores have been tabulated, tea leaves have been consulted, incantations have been made and we have come up with a winner and nine runners up, all of whom will be published on a very special, very sweet website in the near future. Thanks, all, for playing!
Administrative note: If you offered prizes please e-mail contest@htmlgiant.com and we’ll send you the appropriate winner or finalist’s address so you can dispatch them their prize.
Winner:
Kristi McGuire Revising the Pharmacist In Love
Runners Up:
Amber Sparks For These Humans Who Cannot Fly
James Greer Second Hand Blue

The winner was picked by GIANT contributors, not me but that isn’t to say I wouldn’t have chosen Kristi’s work.
