Books Giveaway Winners

Shipment Update: (Dec 2) Hi folks! I will ship your books out by tomorrow, as I have to fill out custom declaration forms for packages going overseas. Thanks again for participating.

The Books Giveaway is now closed. Exactly half of you who have entered will win a book. Thirty-four entries in for the raffle of seventeen books. Thank you all for participating. I will rely on Randomizer to instantly generate a set of seventeen (17) random unique numbers, representing each one of the entrants. As many of you share common preferences for a book, the order of which Randomizer selects the number is used to assign precedence. I will do my best to match the winners to their choices.

  1. Matt, thank you so much! This is such a generous giveaway. I’m very much looking forward to Snow. I really enjoyed Snow Falling on Cedars.

    I’m addicted to your blog. Thanks again!

  2. Woo hoo! Thanks Matt! I never win anything, so you must be my good luck charm!

  4. Thanks so much Matthew!

  5. Thank you! You are now my favorite blogging dude!

  6. Hey, I can’t find your e-mail address (probably because I’m a little drain blamaged). Here’s mine: chartroose at yahoo dot com.

  7. Thanks so much, Matt! I’ve already emailed you my address. :)

  8. My number/name was not selected, but I still wanted to tell you thanks for doing this. It was really fun.

  9. Thank’s so much Matt! I am so excited because this is a book that I did not even hear of before entering your contest! I will email you my address shortly…thanks again!

  10. Congrats to the winners. I’m okay with not winning as I’ve won a lot lately.

  11. Matt: Thanks so very much. Very exciting to win, and I’m so pleased with the title I’m to receive. I know that this will be one of my favorite reads for 2009.

  12. Melody:
    What a surprise. I have no clue you’re half the world away from me! :)

  13. Okie & Callista:
    Thank you for participating. :) I’ll host another giveaway after the holiday.

    Thanks Matt.

    Got your note on my blog.

  15. You’re so generous Matt, sending free books to readers overseas. Your readers must be grateful for all your heart for books.

  16. Thanks so much Matt! :)

  17. Jessica, Tuesday, Char, Melody, and Isabel:
    I have sent out your books. Hope you enjoy reading. :)

  18. Ken:
    Sending them out is quite a chore. I have to fill out custom forms, pen in the addresses, put them in the mailer, get in line at the PO. But it’s fun. The PO clerk is amazed I’m sending all these books out as gifts. :)

  19. Iliana:
    You are very welcome. I sent your copy of The Echo Maker out as well. Hope you enjoy the book. :)

  20. Matthew, I received Snow in the mail today! I’m so excited to read it. Thanks again for having such a generous giveaway.
