First of all, I pulled a winner late last night, when I was dead tired and too lazy to post. The box of ALA goodies goes to...

Brooke Reviews!

Brooke, I will be sending out your box on Monday!

Also, sorry about the lack of an end date for the comment contest. It will end August 31st at midnight CST. Also, T'Aragam is definitely up for grabs, as I've already read it!

The ABC's of Me
I have been tagged TWICE. Thanks guys - Alex over at A Flight of Minds and Shayla at The Book Explorer obviously want to find out a bit about me. So, enjoy!

The Rules:

- Link to the person who tagged you
- Share your ABCs
- Tag three people at the end by linking to their blogs
- Let the three tagged people know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website
- Do not tag the same person repeatedly but try to tag different people, so there is a big network of bloggers doing this tag.

Lately, my older sister. But usually, my friend Melissa.
