Book Giveaway Winner

Thanks for your comments and favorite books.  I loved reading all of them and have added some to my list of books to read.  And many of them are some of my favorites as well.  I love The Alchemist, Pride and Prejudice, and Harry Potter (specifically numbers 3 and 6).  Oh, and yes, Matilda is also on my favorite book list, Jenny.

Okay, the book I'm giving away is...

A Separate Peace by John Knowles


If you haven't read this book, I would definitely recommend it.  It is John Knowles' most popular book, but even still, I don't think it is terribly well-known.  It is popular among my family members though.  When my parents were dating my dad gave my mom a list of books she had to read in order for them to get married.  This one was on that list.  It is also one of my brother's favorites.  And like I said before, Landon loves it as well.

As a man, the narrator visits his old prep school he attended as a teenage boy and tells the story of a terrible event that happened while he was there.  The characters experience a wide range of emotions and feelings, which I think are depicted perfectly.  That is all I'm going to say about it.  I don't want to give too much information.

Okay, on to the winner...

The winner is Annie!

I will get your copy of A Separate Peace to you soon!

I just wanted to say that this sweepstakes was conducted honestly and ethically. I used my computer hacking skills to create a program that would select a winner at random. Much to my dismay, Annie's name was the one that came out.
