#AnneReadAlong2017 : Giveaway Winner!

September 11, 2017

 

Wow– it’s hard to believe that we’re over halfway done with this amazing read along! To celebrate, and to thank all of you for your amazing support and wonderful participation, Jane @Greenish Bookshelf and I set up our first giveaway. It’s been an adventure figuring out how we want to work together, want we want to provide, and how we want to engage our community. We really appreciate all the wonderful support you’ve provided us! Thank you all SO SO SO MUCH!

You can follow along with our progress, and find out how you can participate by checking out my #AnneReadAlong2017 page, or Jane’s linked above.

And yet it feels like we’re only just beginning. Jane and I have even more planned for you in the second half of our #AnneReadAlong2017! We hope you’ll stick around for more interesting posts, giveaways, read along options and more. And, as always, Jane and I are open to any and all feedback you might have. Comment below!

But why am I still babbling? You want to know about the giveaway! We are giving away the boxed set paperback collection of The Complete Anne of Green Gables!

I was supposed to announce the winner a few days ago, but sickness impeded me. Better late than never right? 

And the winner is…

Evelina @ Avalinah’s Books

 !!!

Jane and I couldn’t be more excited. I’ll be reaching out to Evelina shortly to make certain we get her this box set ASAP! Because there’s nothing like amazing book mail. Congrats, Evelina!

We look forward to seeing all of you more as we continue this journey. What possible antics could there be left for Anne Shirley to get up to? Only the read along will tell… We look forward to interacting with you as we continue!

    I love Evelina! Congratulations!! Jackie and Jane you two are so great to offer this giveaway!! I’m going to review the graphic novel I read (not sure it counts but I’m gonna link to you and share everything about your readalong!! <3

      D’aw, thank you! I’m super excited Evelina won, too. There were a TON of people who entered, and I’m really excited that she’ll get some awesome book mail. 😀

      You can TOTALLY review the graphic novel! Actually, Anne of Green Gables is something of a phenomenon in Japan. Akage No Anne was secretly and accidentally translated in the early 1940s. Then, when schools were looking for literature to teach English with they turned towards the original version. Now there is a graphic novel, and anime, and more! I’d love to read that review and hear your take. They don’t have it at my library unfortunately…

      Awww Dani, I love your blog too!!! Thanks for the love and best wishes, and I am so excited! I can actually finish Anne in print, I’m only 3 books in 🙂

    • Evelina September 12, 2017 at 3:49 am

    • Jackie B September 14, 2017 at 5:06 pm

      Haha. So true– the books are going to a worthy opponent. I’m actually just shocked that someone I KNEW won! There were so many entries; I was a bit shocked. 😀

  • Evelina September 12, 2017 at 3:48 am

    That’s crazy that you’re already halfway through your readathon. Time flies! Congrats to Evelina on winning the giveaway! That’s such a great prize. 🙂

    • Jackie B September 15, 2017 at 7:50 am

      I couldn’t be more excited that one of my blogger friends won! I feel like that never happens. 😀 Yay!

      And man, time really DOES fly!

      • KrystiYAandWine September 16, 2017 at 12:30 am

        That is exciting! I love it when someone wins my giveaways who I know really does follow my blog. I’ve made friends with a couple people who won my giveaways after the fact too, and that’s also neat. It’s less exciting when it’s the people who are just on Twitter to enter giveaways that win. But, eh, I guess that’s how random drawings work.

        • Jackie B September 18, 2017 at 9:50 pm

          That is how they work, sadly. That said, I’ve never been able to figure out how people do random drawing with Twitter alone! There must be an app for that. 😉

          • KrystiYAandWine September 19, 2017 at 5:53 pm

            It’s true. I use Tweetdraw. I just the website, but I’m guessing there’s an app too.

            • Jackie B September 20, 2017 at 8:18 am

              Oh *thats* cool. I get it now! I would never have known how to Google search for that otherwise. Thanks for the pro-tip!

  • Jane @ Greenish Bookshelf September 15, 2017 at 3:54 pm

    Yay, Evelina!! Congratulations! 🙂 And seriously teach us your linky expertise! We need it! 🙂

    • Jackie B September 17, 2017 at 4:18 pm

      Thirded. Bring on the expertise! Preferably in the form of step-by-step instructions and an FAQ. We strugglin’.
