Muck the Book Pile Winners
Published by LeadMare • Sep 2nd, 2008 • Category: Competitions and Giveaways, GHC NewsThanks to everyone who participated in the Muck the Book Pile giveaway, and congratulations to the lucky winners listed below! Each winner will receive an email shortly with instructions for claiming your book pile. For those of you who are interested, read below for details of how the winners were selected, some stats about which book piles were the most popular choices, and a list of everyone’s favorite books from the comments.
And the winners are…
#1 Christy
#2 Sweetie
#3 Blue’s_gal

HOW PRIZES WERE AWARDED
Winners were selected randomly at Random.org. Each winner was given their top choice of prize unless that prize was already taken by another winner, in which case I moved through their list until there was an available choice. If entrants listed only one choice and that choice was taken, or if all their choices were taken, another winner was randomly selected until all 5 prizes were awarded.
TOP 3 PRIZE CHOICES
Of the prizes offered, the most popular was #4 (Sundancer and Abby Malone by Shelley Petersen). Tied for second place was #2 (Wind Rider by Susan Williams, Airs Beneath the Moon, Airs and Graces by Toby Bishop) and #3 (Phantom Stallion: Runaway Home and Wild Horse Island: The Horse Charmer by Terri Farley).

well, that was certainly exciting! To everyone who won: I hope you enjoy your books. To everyone (like me) who didn’t win, just think of this we are all winners, and it had nothing to do with who you are, it was all random!!! And there’s always tha next one right???
Congrats on winning!
Congratulations everyone! I hope all the winners have great fun reading their books. There’s definitely always the next time. I think it was awesome being able to participate nonetheless :D
Thankyou :) Will get my mum to email you as soon as she gets home from work :).
My mom emailed you yesterday. Thanks GHC!
You’re all very welcome! I’ve heard from everyone except IluvnmissmybabyBensonsomuch!, but either way I’ll be packaging everything to mail on Saturday. I hope you enjoy the books!
One of the winners did not claim her prize so another winner was chosen to receive book pile #4. Congratulations mustangmane — turns out you got something this time after all!
Wow! I am very surprised! I usually don’t have much luck with stuff like this. I’ll have my mom email you right away.

maybe i will next time
Congratulations everyone!
Haven’t got here yet, but I’m still watching the letterbox! Thanks again!!!
Sweetie, your package was mailed on the 6th. Don’t know how long it takes to get from the US to the UK, but I would imagine at least a couple of weeks.
Whoops! I only just logged into my e-mail account today and found out that I won! Or did win ;-). Silly me - but congratulations mustangmane! That teaches me to look at my e-mail account more often.
I’ll try again. I can always ask for the books at Christmas time anyway!
