Prize winners, please write me at MotherReader AT gmail DOT com with your address, and the types of book you’d be interested in receiving. I’ll do my best to accommodate.

You're welcome! It is seriously a pleasure to have taken part in this challenge with all these wonderful bloggers. :D
You missed Jennifer from www.nerdgirltalking.wordpress.com in your over 20 hours list! There were four of us from the blog in the challenge so you probably just missed her post :-)
Actually, it's $165 dollars to Bridget Zinn-- $107 for everyone who completed by $57 for those who hit 20+ hours, rounded up.
Amber, corrected. Did you sign in at the Finish Line individually? Please do, for an accurate count.
Jennie, thanks for the note. It's changed.
Pam, thanks for a fun weekend!
Sad, I got missed. :( Not sure what I did wrong...
Emily, got it now. My bad.
Just wanted to let you know that I saw on error in the causes section. You have me marked down as donating $120 the the food bank that was wrong. I made a $50 donation to my son's walk a thon and the money is going to a local organization that makes sure under privillage kids gets books.
I also completed 20 hours of reading and 30 minutes of networking. I did post my linky but it was after the noon deadline
Cindy
Thank you so much again!
Cindy, made the change. It was another blog that had the food bank donation.
Pam, thank YOU so much for being our organizer extraordinaire! This challenge is so much fun! Cheers, mate.
Well, I totally could have/should have participated in this -- had I been aware...not keeping up on my blog readings. Anyway, I kinda did this on my own and will most definitely keep this on my calendar for next year. This is my cup of tea to a tee! Leesa
Thanks again, MR!
